D. Determination
(P interferes in Ca and may interfere in Mg determination with air-C2H2 burners.
Eliminate interference by adding La stock solution to standard and test solutions so
that final dilutions contain 1% La. P does not interfere with Ca determination when
N2O- C2H2 flame is used.)
Set up instrument as in table 965.09, or previously established optimum settings for
apparatus to be used. Less sensitive secondary lines [ Gatehouse & Willis,
Spectrochim. Acta 17, 710 (1961)] may be used to reduce necessary dilution, if
desired. Read >=4 standard solutions within analysis range before and after each
group of 6 – 12 test solutions. Flush burner with H2O between test solution, and re-
establish 0 absorption point each time. Prepare calibration curve from average of each
standard before and after test solutions group. Read concentration of test solutions
from plot of absorption against µg/mL.
E. Calculations
% element= (µg/mL)x(F/test portion weight) x 10-4
F= mL original dilution x mL final dilution/mL aliquot, if original 100mL volume is
diluted.
