DIN EN ISO 16968:2015-09 EN ISO 16968:2015 (E) 3 IntroductionThe minor elements present in solid biofuels can, in some cases, be of environment
27、al concern, e.g. it has been shown that certain energy crops will concentrate cadmium and, in polluted areas, other toxic elements may be found at elevated concentrations in the biofuels. This can be a problem if, for example, the ash from the combustion is to be put back in the forest as a fertiliz
28、er. Trace elements in biofuels are often present at very low concentrations requiring great care to avoid contamination in the sample preparation and decomposition steps. The typical concentrations of minor elements in solid biofuels can be found in ISO 17225-1. In this International Standard, wet c
29、hemical methods are described. Alternative methods such as X-ray fluorescence (XRF) or direct mercury analysers may be used when validated with suitable materials (biomass reference materials).DIN EN ISO 16968:2015-09 EN ISO 16968:2015 (E) 4 1 ScopeThis International Standard is intended for the det
30、ermination of the minor elements Arsenic, Cadmium, Cobalt, Chromium, Copper, Mercury, Manganese, Molybdenum, Nickel, Lead, Antimony, Vanadium, and Zinc in all solid biofuels. Further, it describes methods for sample decomposition and suggests suitable instrumental methods for the determination of th
31、e elements of interest in the digests. The determination of other elements such as Selenium, Tin, and Thallium is also possible with the method described in this International Standard.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and

42、ted in a closed vessel made from a fluoropolymer using nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide, and hydrofluoric acid in a microwave oven or a resistance oven or heating block. The digest is then diluted and the elements are determined with suitable instruments.6 ReagentsAll reagents shall be of analytical g
43、rade or better. If the blank level is unacceptably high, i.e. more than 30 % of the determined value, the use of ultra-pure reagents should be investigated.6.1 Water, containing negligible amount of the minor elements, i.e. amount that do not contribute significantly to the determinations. NOTE 1 De
44、ionised water or doubly distilled water normally fulfils this requirement.NOTE 2 The water used for analytical trace metal work is normally produced using a system for production of ultra-pure water for laboratory use conductivity = 0,056 S/cm.6.2 Hydrofluoric acid (HF), 40 % (w/w), = 1,13 g/ml.CAUT
45、ION Hydrofluoric acid may lead to health hazards.6.3 Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), 30 % (w/w), = 1,11 g/ml.6.4 Nitric acid (HNO3), 65 % (w/w), = 1,41 g/ml.6.5 Boric acid (H3BO3), 4 % (w/w).6.6 Certified Reference Materials (CRM or SRM), issued by an internationally recognized authority, to check if the
46、accuracy of the calibration meets the required performance characteristics.EXAMPLE NBS 1570 spinach leaves, NBS1571 orchard leaves, NBS 1573 tomato leaves, and NBS 1575 pine needles.When no good recoveries for the certified reference materials can be obtained, due to matrix effects or concentration
47、range limitations, calibration with at least two CRM or SRM materials may solve these problems. In that case, CRM or SRM materials other than used for the calibration shall be used for verification purposes.NOTE A CRM or SRM is prepared and used for three main purposes: (1) to help develop accurate methods of analysis; (2) to calibrate measurement systems used to facilitate exchange of goods,
