Add 10 ml of hydrochloric acid (4.2) and 10 ml of the nitric
34、acid solution (4.4). Cover with a watch glass and heat gently until the test portion is completely dissolved. Allow to cool.

35、that the filter does not flame. Calcine at about 550 C. Cool and add 5 ml of hydrofluoric acid (4.5) and five drops of nitric acid (4.3). Evaporate to dryness and calcine again for several minutes at about 700 C to completely volatilize the silicon. Cool, and then dissolve the residue with the least

BS EN 15690-2:2009EN 15690-2:2009 (E) 7 7.2 Blank test Carry out a blank test simultaneously with the determination, following the same procedure and using the same quantities of all reagents as used for the determi
41、nation, by pure copper for the test portion (7.1.1). Correct the result obtained from the determination in accordance with the result of the blank. 7.3 Check test Make a preliminary check of the apparatus by preparing a solution of a standard material or a synthetic sample containing a known amount
42、of iron and of composition similar to the material to be analysed. Carry out the procedure specified in 7.5. 7.4 Establishment of the calibration curve 7.4.1 Preparation of the calibration solutions 7.4.1.1 General In all cases, copper, salts concentration and the pH-values of the calibration soluti
43、ons shall be similar 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 solution. Normally no similar additions are required to compensate for the effect of alloying elements. If an alloying e
44、lement is present 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 (4.10 and 4.11) have been calculated to compensate for chemical interaction effects of copper in test sol
45、utions of copper or high-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
46、 in solution. The iron 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.
