24、 radiation, emitted by an element at a determined wavelength, by an absorbent medium (flame) formed by atoms of the same element that are in the ground state. Each element absorbs radiation of specific wavelengths and the intensity of the absorbed radiation is proportional to the concentration of sa
25、id element 4 Principle A sample of the metal is dissolved in a mixture of hydrochloric acid and hydrogen peroxide and, after adequate dilution and atomisation of the solution in a nitrous oxide-acetylene flame, the content of tin is determined by atomic absorption spectrometry at the wavelength of 2
26、35,5 nm. 5 Reagents 5.1 General During the test, use only reagents of known or analytical grade and distilled or demineralised water. 5.2 Hydrochloric acid, = 1,19 g/ml. 5.3 Nitric acid, = 1,4 g/ml. EN 12441-8:2004 (E) 5 5.4 Hydrogen peroxide, 30 % (mass fraction) Hydrogen peroxide solutions are lia
27、ble to be stabilised with products containing tin. Therefore exactly the same volume of hydrogen peroxide shall be used both when dissolving samples and when preparing the calibration solutions. 5.5 Pure zinc 99,995 %, tin free 5.6 Zinc, 100 g/l solution Dissolve 100 g of zinc (5.5) with 600 ml of h
28、ydrochloric acid (5.2). After dissolution, transfer quantitatively to a 1 000 ml volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark with water and mix. 5.7 Tin, 0,5 g/l standard solution Weigh 0,5 g of tin with a purity of no less than 99,9 % (mass fraction) to the nearest 0,001 g. Carefully add 200 ml of hydroch
29、loric acid (5.2). When dissolution is complete, cool to room temperature and transfer quantitatively to a 1 000 ml volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark with water and mix. 1 ml of this solution contains 0,500 mg of tin. 5.8 Aqua regia Mix 3 part volumes of hydrochloric acid (5.2) with 1 part volume
30、nitric acid (5.3). 6 Apparatus 6.1 General All glassware used for the preparation of the solutions and for the implementation of the method shall be cleaned with boiling aqua regia (5.8) prior to use. 6.2 Specific equipment In addition to standard laboratory apparatus an atomic absorption spectromet
31、er, equipped with a premix burner, with facilities for using the oxidizer-fuel combination of nitrous oxide-acetylene, shall be used. NOTE Excitation sources should be operated in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations. The optical path length within the flame should be between 5 cm to 10
32、 cm. 7 Sampling The test sample shall be selected and prepared in accordance with the procedure given in EN 12060. 8 Procedure 8.1 Test portion Weigh 5 g of the test sample to the nearest 0,001 g. EN 12441-8:2004 (E) 6 8.2 Preparation of the test portion 8.2.1 Introduce the test portion (8.1) into a
33、 250 ml beaker fitted with a watch-glass and dissolve by carefully adding 40 ml of hydrochloric acid (5.2). Oxidize and complete the dissolution by adding 100 l of hydrogen peroxide (5.4). Do not heat in order to avoid the loss of SnCl 4 . 8.2.2 After dissolution, cool to room temperature and transf
34、er quantitatively to a 100 ml volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark with water and mix. 8.2.3 Transfer exactly 10,00 ml of this solution, (8.2.2) to a 100 ml volumetric flask, add 10 ml of hydrochloric acid (5.2), dilute to the mark with water and mix. 8.3 Preparation of the calibration solutions To
35、each of a series of eight 100 ml volumetric flasks, transfer 10 ml of the hydrochloric acid (5.2) and 100 l of hydrogen peroxide (5.4). Add 5 ml of the zinc solution (5.6) to each flask. Then add 0,00 ml, 1,00 ml, 2,00 ml, 3,00 ml, 5,00 ml, 7,00 ml, 8,00 ml and 10,0 ml aliquots of the tin standard s
36、olution (5.7). These aliquots correspond to tin contents (mass fractions) in the test portion of 0,0 %, 0,1 %, 0,2 %, 0,3 %, 0,5 %, 0,7 %, 0,8 % and 1,0 %. Dilute to the mark with water and mix. 8.4 Spectrometric measurements Measure the absorbances of the calibration solutions and the test solution
37、(s) by taking alternate readings to ensure that the settings of the burner and of the apparatus do not change during the readings. The wavelength of the line used shall be 235,5 nm. To comply with the concentration ranges recommended by the manufacturer of the apparatus, the same dilutions for the c
38、alibration solutions and the test solution(s) shall be made if necessary. 9 Calculation and expression of results 9.1 Method of calculation Establish a calibration graph by plotting the measured absorbances of the calibration solutions against their respective contents (mass fractions). Determine fr
39、om the measured absorbances of the test solutions, the associated amount of tin from the calibration graph. If a number of determinations are carried out then a mean of all results shall be determined by adding the individual results together and by dividing by the number of individual results. The
40、results shall be expressed as specified in EN 13283. 9.2 Precision A planned trail of this method was carried out by 9 laboratories, using 2 samples with 2 levels of tin contents, each laboratory making three determination of tin content in each sample (see Notes 1 and 2). NOTE 1 Two of the three de
41、terminations were carried out under repeatability conditions as defined in ISO 5725-1; i.e. one operator, same apparatus, identical operating conditions, same calibration and a minimum period of time. NOTE 2 The third determination was carried out at a different time (on a different day) by the same
42、 operator as in Note 1, using the same apparatus and a different calibration. The details of the samples used and the mean results obtained are given in the Tables A.1 and A.2. EN 12441-8:2004 (E) 7 The results obtained were treated statistically in accordance with ISO 5725. The data obtained showed
43、 a logarithmic relationship between the tin content and the repeatability limit (r) and reproducibility limits (R wand R) of the test results (see Note 3), as summarised in Table 1. The graphical representation of the data is shown in Figure B.1. NOTE 3 From the two values obtained in Day 1, the rep
44、eatability limit (r) and the reproducibility limit (R) were calculated using the procedure specified in ISO 5725. From the first value obtained in Day 1 and the value obtained in Day 2, the within-laboratory reproducibility limit (R w ) was calculated using the procedure specified in ISO 5725. Table
