BS EN 15022-4:2011EN 15022-4:2011 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a flame atomic absorption spectrometric method (FAAS) for the determination of the tin content of copper and copper alloys in the form of
22、unwrought, wrought and cast products. The method is applicable to products having medium tin mass fractions between 0,2 % and 3,0 %. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

25、. Measurement of the absorption of the 286,3 nm line emitted by a tin hollow-cathode lamp. 4 Reagents Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and only distilled water or water of equivalent purity. 4.1 Hydrochloric acid, HCl ( = 1,19 g/ml). 4.2 Hydrochloric acid solution, 7 + 3. Add 700 ml
26、of hydrochloric acid (4.1) to 300 ml of water. 4.3 Hydrogen peroxide, H2O230 % (mass fraction) solution, free from tin base stabilizers. Hydrogen peroxide may be stabilized by products containing some tin. It is therefore necessary to use exactly the same volume of hydrogen peroxide for the dissolut
27、ion of the test sample as for the preparation of the corresponding blank test. 4.4 Tin stock solution, 1 g/ l Sn. Weigh (1 0,001) g of tin (Sn 99 %) and transfer it into a 250 ml beaker. Dissolve it in 100 ml hydrochloric acid (4.1) and several drops of hydrogen peroxide (4.3) and cover with a watch
28、 glass. Heat gently until the metal is dissolved. Cool to room temperature and transfer the solution quantitatively into a 1 000 ml one-mark volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark with water and mix. 1 ml of this solution contains 1 mg of Sn. BS EN 15022-4:2011EN 15022-4:2011 (E) 5 4.5 Copper base sol
29、ution, 20 g/ l Cu. Weigh 10,0 g of electrolytic copper (Cu 99,95 %) into a 600 ml beaker. Add 250 ml of the hydrochloric acid solution (4.2) and cover with a watch glass. Cool to room temperature and add successively 5 ml hydrogen peroxide portions (4.3) until dissolution is complete, waiting after
30、each addition until all effervescence ceases. Heat to eliminate the excess of hydrogen peroxide. Cool to room temperature and transfer this solution quantitatively into a 500 ml one-mark volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark with water and mix. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Atomic absorption spectrometer, fitted w
31、ith a nitrous oxide/acetylene burner. 5.2 Tin hollow-cathode lamp. 6 Sampling Sampling shall be carried out in accordance with ISO 1811-1 or ISO 1811-2, as appropriate. Test samples shall be in the form of fine drillings, chips or millings, with a maximum thickness of 0,5 mm. 7 Procedure 7.1 Prepara
32、tion of the test portion solution 7.1.1 Test portion Weigh (1 0,001) g of the test sample. 7.1.2 Test portion solution Transfer the test portion (7.1.1) into a 250 ml beaker and cover with a watch glass. Add 25 ml of hydrochloric acid solution (4.2), cool and add 5 ml of hydrogen peroxide (4.3). Coo
33、l until the violent reaction has ceased and add, if necessary, 2 ml of hydrogen peroxide to continue the dissolution. Repeat this addition several times as necessary to complete the dissolution of the test portion. Heat to eliminate the excess of hydrogen peroxide and cool to room temperature. Trans
34、fer the dissolved test portion into a 100 ml one-mark volumetric flask. Add 3,5 ml of hydrochloric acid (4.1). Dilute to the mark with water and mix. 7.2 Blank test Carry out a blank test simultaneously with the determination, following the same procedure and using the same quantities of all reagent
35、s as used for the determination, but substituting pure copper for the test portion. 7.3 Check test Make a preliminary check of the apparatus by preparing a solution of a reference material or a synthetic sample containing a known amount of tin and of a composition similar to the material to be analy
36、sed. Carry out the procedure specified in 7.5. BS EN 15022-4:2011EN 15022-4:2011 (E) 6 7.4 Establishment of the calibration curve 7.4.1 Preparation of the calibration solutions 7.4.1.1 General In all cases, copper and chloride concentrations, and acidity in the calibration solutions shall be similar
37、 to those of the test portion solutions. The presence of copper in the calibration solutions compensates for chemical interaction effects of copper in the test portion solution. Normally no similar additions are required to compensate for the effect of alloying elements. If an alloying element is pr
38、esent in the material to be analysed in mass fraction 10 %, an appropriate mass of this element shall be added to the calibration solutions. The volumes of copper base solution added (4.5) have been calculated to compensate for chemical interaction effects of copper in test solutions of copper or hi
39、gh-copper alloys. Overcompensation may occur if the same volumes are added when the test samples are copper-based alloys where the percentage of copper is lower. In these cases the volumes of copper base solution shall be decreased to match the copper content of the test sample in solution. The tin
40、concentration of the calibration solutions shall be adjusted to suit the sensitivity of the spectrometer used, so that the curve of absorbance as a function of concentration is a straight line. 7.4.1.2 Tin mass fractions between 0,2 % and 3,0 % Into each of a series of eight 100 ml one-mark volumetr
41、ic flasks, introduce the volumes of the tin stock solution (4.4), the copper base solution (4.5) and hydrochloric acid (4.1) shown in Table 1. Dilute to the mark with water and mix.

44、 and allow it to stabilize. Adjust the wavelength in the region of 286,3 nm to minimum absorbance. Following the BS EN 15022-4:2011EN 15022-4:2011 (E) 7 manufacturers instructions, fit the correct burner, light the flame and allow the burner temperature to stabilize. The flame shall be set up on oxi
45、dising conditions. Taking careful note of the manufacturers instructions regarding the minimum flow rate of acetylene, aspirate the calibration solution of highest concentration of analyte and adjust the burner configuration and gas flows to obtain maximum absorbance. NOTE The wavelength 286,3 nm wa
46、s chosen because of its stability, linearity of calibration curve, sensitivity and lack of interference. Similar sensitivity can be obtained by using the 235,5 nm wavelength. Use of other lines is not advised. 7.4.3 Spectrometric measurement of the calibration solutions Aspirate the series of calibr
47、ation solutions (7.4.1) in succession into the flame and measure the absorbance for each. Take care to keep the aspiration rate constant throughout the preparation of the calibration curve. Spray water through the burner after each measurement, see NOTE. NOTE For certain types of apparatus, instead
48、of water it is preferable to use a solution containing the attack reagents, in the same concentrations as in the test portion solutions. 7.4.4 Calibration curve Establish the calibration curve using measured absorbances and corresponding analyte amounts. Use appropriate spectrometer software or an o
49、ff-line computer for regression calculations or prepare a graphical representation. 7.5 Determination 7.5.1 General The analyses shall be carried out independently, in duplicate. 7.5.2 Preliminary spectrometric measurement Carry out a preliminary measurement on the test portion solution (7.1.2) following the same procedure specified in 7.4.2 and 7.4.3 at the same time as the spectrometric measurements are carried out
