Add 10 ml of nitric acid (4.1). Cover with a watch glass and heat g

Add 40 ml of hydrochloric acid (4.2) and transfer the test solution quantitatively into a 100 ml one-mark volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark with water and mix well. 7.2 Blank test Carry
30、out a blank test simultaneously with the determination, following the same procedure and using the same quantities of all reagents as used for the determination, but omitting the test portion. 7.3 Check test Make a preliminary check of the apparatus by preparing a solution of a reference material or
31、 a synthetic sample containing a known amount of tellurium and of composition similar to the material to be analysed. Carry out the procedure specified in 7.5. BS EN 15916-2:2010EN 15916-2:2010 (E) 6 7.4 Establishment of the calibration curve 7.4.1 Preparation of calibration solutions 7.4.1.1 Genera
32、l In all cases, copper, chloride and nitrate concentrations, and acidity in the calibration solutions 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
33、similar additions are required to compensate for the effect of alloying elements. If an alloying element 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 (4.6) h
34、ave been calculated to compensate for chemical interaction effects of copper in test solutions 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 o
35、f copper base solution shall be decreased to match the copper content of the test sample in solution. The tellurium 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 strai

Following the manufacturers instructions, fit the correct burner, light the flame and allow the burner temperature to stabilize. The flame shall be set up on oxidi
40、sing 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.

41、 (E) 7 7.4.3 Spectrometric measurement Aspirate the series of calibration solutions (7.4.1.2) in succession into the flame and measure the absorbance for each solution. Take care to keep the aspiration rate constant throughout the preparation of the calibration curve. Spray water through the burner
42、after each measurement. NOTE For certain types of apparatus, instead 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 corresp
43、onding analyte amounts. Use appropriate spectrometer software or an off-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 ou
44、t a preliminary measurement on the test portion solution (7.1.2) following the procedure specified in 7.4.3 at the same time as the spectrometric measurements are carried out on the standard calibration solutions (7.4.1). Estimate the preliminary analyte amount by using the calibration curve accordi
45、ng to 7.4.4. NOTE In presence of silver a precipitate of AgCl will occur. Filter before any spectrometric measurement. 7.5.3 Spectrometric measurements 7.5.3.1 Use of the calibration curve Repeat the measurements and calculate the concentration directly using the calibration curve. 7.5.3.2 Use of br
46、acketing method Carry out a second measurement on the test portion solution (7.1.2) following the procedure specified in 7.4.3, by bracketing between two calibration solutions of composition similar to that of the calibration solutions (7.4.1), but having tellurium concentrations slightly higher and
47、 slightly lower ( 10 %) than the estimated tellurium concentration of the test portion solution. To prepare these calibration solutions, follow the procedure specified in 7.4.1 using, however, suitable quantities of tellurium stock solution (4.5). 8 Expression of results 8.1 Use of calibration curve
