APPENDIX A TO PART 136METHODS FOR ORGANIC CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF MUNICIPAL ANDINDUSTRIAL WASTEWATERMETHOD 613—2,3,7,8-TETRACHLORODIBENZO-P-DIOXIN1.Scope and Application1.1This method covers the determination of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin(2,3,7,8-TCDD). The following parameter may be determined by this method:Parameter STORET No.CAS No.2,3,7,8-TCDD....................................346751746-01-6 1.2This is a gas chromatographic/mass spectrometer (GC/MS) method applicable to thedetermination of 2,3,7,8-TCDD in municipal and industrial discharges as providedunder 40 CFR Part 136.1. Method 625 may be used to screen samples for2,3,7,8-TCDD. When the screening test is positive, the final qualitative confirmationand quantification must be made using Method 613.11.3The method detection limit (MDL, defined in Section 14.1) for 2,3,7,8-TCDD is listedin Table 1. The MDL for a specific wastewater may be different from that listed,depending upon the nature of interferences in the sample matrix.1.4Because of the extreme toxicity of this compound, the analyst must prevent exposureto himself, of to others, by materials knows or believed to contain 2,3,7,8-TCDD.Section 4 of this method contains guidelines and protocols that serve as minimumsafe-handling standards in a limited-access laboratory.1.5Any modification of this method, beyond those expressly permitted, shall beconsidered as a major modification subject to application and approval of alternatetest procedures under 40 CFR Parts 136.4 and 136.5.1.6This method is restricted to use by or under the supervision of analysts experiencedin the use of a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer and in the interpretation ofmass spectra. Each analyst must demonstrate the ability to generate acceptable results with this method using the procedure described in Section 8.2.2.Summary of Method2.1 A measured volume of sample, approximately 1 L, is spiked with an internal standardof labeled 2,3,7,8-TCDD and extracted with methylene chloride using a separatoryfunnel. The methylene chloride extract is exchanged to hexane during concentration to a volume of 1.0 mL or less. The extract is then analyzed by capillary columnGC/MS to separate and measure 2,3,7,8-TCDD.2,32.2The method provides selected column chromatographic cleanup proceudres to aid inthe elimination of interferences that may be encountered.3.Interferences3.1Method interferences may be caused by contaminants in solvents, reagents, glassware,and other sample processing hardware that lead to discrete artifacts and/or elevated backgrounds at the masses (m/z) monitored. All of these materials must be routinely demonstrated to be free from interferences under the conditions of the analysis byrunning laboratory reagent blanks as described in Section 8.1.3.43.1.1Glassware must be scrupulously cleaned. Clean all glassware as soon aspossible after use by rinsing with the last solvent used in it. Solvent rinsingshould be followed by detergent washing with hot water, and rinses with tapwater and distilled water. The glassware should then be drained dry, andheated in a muffle furnace at 400°C for 15-30 minutes. Some thermally stablematerials, such as PCBs, may not be eliminated by the treatment. Solventrinses with acetone and pesticide quality hexane may be substituted for themuffle furnace heating. Thorough rinsing with such solvents usuallyeliminates PCB interference. Volumetric ware should not be heated in a mufflefurnace. After drying and cooling, glassware should be sealed and stored in aclean environment to prevent any accumulation of dust or other contaminants.Store inverted or capped with aluminum foil.3.1.2The use of high purity reagents and solvents helps to mininmize interferenceproblems. Purification of solvents by distillation in all-glass systems may berequired.3.2Matrix interferences may be caused by contaminants that are coextracted from thesample. The extent of matrix interferences will vary considerably from source tosource, depending upon the nature and diversity of the industrial complex ormunicipality being sampled. 2,3,7,8-TCDD is often associated with other interferingchlorinated compounds which are at concentrations several magnitudes higher thanthat of 2,3,7,8-TCDD. The cleanup producers in Section 11 can be used to overcomemany of these interferences, but unique samples may require additional cleanup1,5-7approaches to eliminate false positives and achieve the MDL listed in Table 1.3.3The primary column, SP-2330 or equivalent, resolves 2,3,7,8-TCDD from the other 21TCDD insomers. Positive results using any other gas chromatographic column must be confirmed using the primary column.4.Safety4.1The toxicity or carcinogenicity of each reagent used in this method has not beenprecisely defined; however, each chemical compound should be treated as a potential health hazard. From this viewpoint, exposure to these chemicals must be reduced to the lowest possible level by whatever means available. The laboratory is responsible for maintaining a current awareness file of OSHA regulations regarding the safehandling of the chemicals specified in this method. A reference file of material datahandling sheets should also be made available to all personnel involved in thechemical analysis. Additional references to laboratory safety are available and have8-10been identified for the information of the analyst. Benzene and 2,3,7,8-TCDD have been identified as suspected human or mammalian carcinogens.4.2Each laboratory must develop a strict safety program for handling 2,3,7,8-TCDD. Thefollowing laboratory practices are recommended:4.2.1Contamination of the laboratory will be minimized by conducting allmanipulations in a hood.4.2.2The effluents of sample splitters for the gas chromatograph and roughingpumps on the GC/MS should pass through either a column of activatedcharcoal or be bubbled through a trap containing oil or high-boiling alcohols.4.2.3Liquid waste should be dissolved in methanol or ethanol and irradiated withultraviolet light with a wavelength greater than 290 nm for several days. (UseF 40 BL lamps or equivalent). Analyze liquid wastes and dispose of thesolutions when 2,3,7,8-TCDD can no longer be detected.4.3Dow Chemical U.S.A. has issued the following precautimns (revised November 1978)for safe handling of 2,3,7,8-TCDD in the laboratory:4.3.1The following statements on safe handling are as complete as possible on thebasis of available toxicological information. The precautions for safe handlingand use are necessarily general in nature since detailed, specificrecommendations can be made only for the particular exposure andcircumstances of each individual use. Inquiries about specific operations oruses may be addressed to the Dow Chemical Company. Assistance inevaluating the health hazards of particular plant conditions may be obtainedfrom certain consulting laboratories and from State Departments of Health orof Labor, many of which have an industrial health service. 2,3,7,8-TCDD isextremely toxic to laboratory animals. However, it has been handled for yearswithout injury in analytical and biological laboratories. Techniques used inhandling radioactive and infectious materials are applicable to 2,3,7,8,-TCDD.4.3.1.1Protective equipment—Throw-away plastic gloves, apron or lab coat,safety glasses, and a lab hood adequate for radioactive work.4.3.1.2Training—Workers must be trained in the proper method of removingcontaminated gloves and clothing without contacting the exteriorsurfaces.4.3.1.3Personal hygiene—Thorough washing of hands and forearms after eachmanipulation and before breaks (coffee, lunch, and shift).4.3.1.4Confinement—Isolated work area, posted with signs, segregatedglassware and tools, plastic-backed absorbent paper on benchtops.4.3.1.5Waste—Good technique includes minimizing contaminated waste.Plastic bag liners should be used in waste cans. Janitors must betrained in the safe handling of waste.4.3.1.6Disposal of wastes—2,3,7,8-TCDD decomposes above 800°C. Low-levelwaste such as absorbent paper, tissues, animal remains, and plasticgloves may be burned in a good incinerator. Gross quantities(milligrams) should be packaged securely and disposed throughcommercial or governmental channels which are capable of handlinghigh-level radioactive wastes or extremely toxic wastes. Liquids shouldbe allowed to evaporate in a good hood and in a disposable container.Residues may then be handled as above.4.3.1.7Decontamination—For personal decontamination, use any mild soapwith plenty of scrubbing action. For decontamination of glassware,tools, and surfaces, Chlorothene NU Solvent (Trademark of the DowChemical Company) is the least toxic solvent shown to be effective.Satisfactory cleaning may be accomplished by rinsing with Chlorothene,then washing with any detergent and water. Dishwater may bedisposed to the sewer. It is prudent to minimize solvent wastesbecause they may require special disposal through commercial sourceswhich are expensive.4.3.1.8Laundry—Clothing known to be contaminated should be disposed withthe precautions described under Section 4.3.1.6. Lab coats or otherclothing worn in 2,3,7,8-TCDD work areas may be laundered.Clothing should be collected in plastic bags. Persons who convey thebags and launder the clothing should be advised of the hazard andtrained in proper handling. The clothing may be put into a washerwithout contact if the launderer knows the problem. The washershould be run through a cycle before being used again for otherclothing.4.3.1.9Wipe tests—A useful method of determining cleanliness of worksurfaces and tools is to wipe the surface with a piece of filter paper.Extraction and analysis by gas chromatography can achieve a limit ofsensitivity of 0.1 µg per wipe. Less than 1 µg of 2,3,7,8-TCDD persample indicates acceptable cleanliness; anything higher warrantsfurther cleaning. More than 10 µg on a wipe sample constitutes anacute hazard and requires prompt cleaning before further use of theequipment or work space. A high (10 µg) 2,3,7,8-TCDD level indicatesthat unacceptable work practices have been employed in the past.4.3.1.10Inhalation—Any procedure that may produce airborne contaminationmust be done with good ventilation. Gross losses to a ventilationsystem must not be allowed. Handling of the dilute solutions normallyused in analytical and animal work presents no inhalation hazardsexcept in the case of an accident.4.3.1.11Accidents—Remove contaminated clothing immediately, takingprecautions not to contaminate skin or other articles. Wash exposedskin vigorously and repeatedly until medical attention is obtained.5.Apparatus and Materials5.1Sampling equipment, for discrete or composite sampling.5.1.1Grab sample bottle—1 L or 1 qt, amber glass, fitted with a screw cap lined withTeflon. Foil may be substituted for Teflon if the sample is not corrosive. Ifamber bottles are not available, protect samples from light. The bottle and capliner must be washed, rinsed with acetone or methylene chloride, and driedbefore use to minimize contamination.5.1.2Automatic sampler (optional)—The sampler must incorporate glass samplecontainers for the collection of a minimum of 250 mL of sample. Samplecontainers must be kept refrigerated at 4°C and protected from light duringcompositing. If the sampler uses a peristaltic pump, a minimum length ofcompressible silicone rubber tubing may be used. Before use, however, thecompressible tubing should be thoroughly rinsed with methanol, followed byrepeated rinsings with distilled water to minimize the potential forcontamination of the sample. An integrating flow meter is required to collectflow proportional composites.5.1.3Clearly label all samples as “POISON” and ship according to U.S. Departmentof Transportation regulations.5.2Glassware (All specifications are suggested. Catalog numbers are included forillustration only)5.2.1Separatory funnels—2 L and 125 mL, with Teflon stopcock.5.2.2Concentrator tube, Kuderna-Danish—10 mL, graduated (Kontes K-570050-1025or equivalent).

Attach to concentrator tube with springs.5.2.4Snyder column, Kuderna-Danish—Three-ball macro (Kontes K-503000-0121 orequivalent).5.2.5Snyder column, Kuderna-Danish—Two-ball micro (Kontes K-569001-0219 orequivalent).5.2.6Vials—10-15 mL, amber glass, with Teflon-lined screw cap.5.2.7Chromatographic column—300 mm long x 10 mm ID, with Teflon stopcock andcoarse frit filter disc at bottom.5.2.8Chromatographic column—400 mm long x 11 mm ID, with Teflon stopcock andcoarse frit filter disc at bottom.5.3Boiling chips—Approximately 10/40 mesh. Heat to 400°C for 30 minutes or Soxhletextract with methylene chloride.5.4Water bath—Heated, with concentric ring cover, capable of temperature control(±2°C). The bath should be used in a hood.5.5GC/MS system5.5.1Gas chromatograph—An analytical system complete with a temperatureprogrammable gas chromatograph and all required accessories includingsyringes, analytical columns, and gases. The injection port must be designedfor capillary columns. Either split, splitless, or on-column injection techniquesmay be employed, as long as the requirements of Section 7.1.1 are achieved.5.5.2Column—60 m long x 0.25 mm ID glass or fused silica, coated with SP-2330 (orequivalent) with a film thickness of 0.2 µm. Any equivalent column mustresolve 2, 3, 7, 8-TCDD from the other 21 TCDD isomers.165.5.3Mass spectrometer—Either a low resolution mass spectrometer (LRMS) or ahigh resolution mass spectrometer (HRMS) may be used. The massspectrometer must be equipped with a 70 V (nominal) ion source and becapable of aquiring m/z abundance data in real time selected ion monitoring(SIM) for groups of four or more masses.5.5.4GC/MS interface—Any GC to MS interface can be used that achieves therequirements of Section 7.1.1. GC to MS interfaces constructed of all glass orglass-lined materials are recommended. Glass surfaces can be deactivated bysilanizing with dichlorodimethylsilane. To achieve maximum sensitivity, theexit end of the capillary column should be placed in the ion source. A shortpiece of fused silica capillary can be used as the interface to overcome problemsassociated with straightening the exit end of glass capillary columns.5.5.5The SIM data acquired during the chromatographic program is defined as theSelected Ion Current Profile (SICP). The SICP can be acquired under computercontrol or as a real time analog output. If computer control is used, there mustbe software available to plot the SICP and report peak height or area data forany m/z in the SICP between specified time or scan number limits.5.6Balance—Analytical, capable of accurately weighing 0.0001 g.6.Reagents6.1Reagent water—Reagent water is defined as a water in which an interferent is notobserved at the MDL of 2, 3, 7, 8-TCDD.6.2Sodium hydroxide solution (10 N)—Dissolve 40 g of NaOH (ACS) in reagent waterand dilute to 100 mL. Wash the solution with methylene chloride and hexane before use.6.3Sodium thiosulfate—(ACS) Granular.6.4Sulfuric acid—Concentrated (ACS, sp. gr. 1.84).6.5Acetone, methylene chloride, hexane, benzene, ortho-xylene, tetradecane—Pesticidequality or equivalent.6.6Sodium sulfate—(ACS) Granular, anhydrous.

Acetone should be used as the solvent for spiking solutions; ortho-xylene is recommended for calibration standards for split injectors; and tetradecane is recommended for splitless or on-colum injectors. Analyze stock internal standards to verify the absence of native2,3,7,8-TCDD.6.9.1Prepare stock standard solutions of 2,3,7,8-TCDD (mol wt 320) and either 37C142,3,7,8-TCDD (mol wt 328) or 13KC112K 2,3,7,8-TCDD (mol wt 332) in anisolated area by accurately weighing about 0.0100 g of pure material. Dissolvethe material in pesticide quality solvent and dilute to volume in a 10 mLvolumetric flask. When compound purity is assayed to be 96% or greater, theweight can be used without correction to calculate the concentration of thestock standard. Commercially prepared stock standards can be used at anyconcentration if they are certified by the manufacturer or by an independentsource.6.9.2Transfer the stock standard solutions into Teflon-sealed screw-cap bottles. Storein an isolated refrigerator protected from light. Stock standard solutions shouldbe checked frequently for signs of degradation or evaporation, especially justprior to preparing calibration standards or spiking solutions from them.6.9.3Stock standard solutions must be replaced after six months, or sooner ifcomparison with check standards indicates a problem.6.10Internal standard spiking solution (25 ng/mL)—Using stock standard solution,prepare a spiking solution in acetone of either13KCl12K or 37KCl4K 2,3,7,8-TCDD at a concentration of 25 ng/mL. (See Section 10.2)6.11Quality control check sample concentrate—See Section 8.2.1.7.Calibration 7.1Establish gas chromatograhic operating conditions equivalent to those given in Table 1and SIM conditions for the mass spectrometer as described in Section 12.2. TheGC/MS system must be calibrated using the internal standard technique.7.1.1Using stock standards, prepare calibration standards that will allowmeasurement of relative response factors of at least three concentration ratios of2,3,7,8-TCDD to internal standard. Each calibration standard must be preparedto contain the internal standard at a concentration of 25 ng/mL. If anyinterferences are contributed by the internal standard at m/z 320 and 322, itsconcentration may be reduced in the calibration standards and in the internalstandard spiking solution (Section 6.10). One of the calibration standardsshould contain 2,3,7,8-TCDD at a concentration near, but above, the MDL andthe other 2,3,7,8-TCDD concentrations should correspond to the expected rangeof concentrations found in real samples or should define the working range ofthe GC/MS system.7.1.2Using injections of 2-5 µL, analyze each calibration standardaccording toSection 12 and tabulate peak height or area response against the concentrationof 2,3,7,8-TCDD and internal standard. Calculate response factors (RF) for2,3,7,8-TCDD using Equation 1.Equation 1where:A = SIM response for 2,3,7,8-TCDD m/z 320.s A = SIM response for the internal standard, m/z 332 for C is 1213 2,3,7,8-TCDD m/z 328 for Cl 2,3,7,8-TCDD.374C = Concentration of the internal standard (µg/L).is C = Concentration of 2,3,7,8-TCDD (µg/L).s If the RF value over the working range is a constant (<10% relative standarddeviation, RSD), the RF can be assumed to be invariant and the average RF canbe used for calculations. Alternatively, the results can be used to plot acalibration curve of response ratios, A /A , vs. concentration ratios C /C .s is s is *7.1.3The working calibration curve or RF must be verified on each working day bythe measurement of one or more 2,3,7,8-TCDD calibration standards. If theresponse for 2,3,7,8-TCDD varies from the predicted response by more than±15%, the test must be repeated using a fresh calibration standard.Alternatively, a new calibration curve must be prepared.7.2Before using any cleanup procedure, the analyst must process a series of calibrationstandards through the procedure to validate elution patterns and the absence ofinterferences from the reagents.8.Quality Control8.1Each laboratory that uses this method is required to operate a formal quality controlprogram. The minimum requirements of this program consist of an initialdemonstration of laboratory capability and an ongoing analysis of spiked samples to evaluate and document data quality. The laboratory must maintain records todocument the quality of data that is generated. Ongoing data quality checks arecompared with established performance criteria to determine if the results of analyses meet the performance characteristics of the method. When results of sample spikesindicate atypical method performance, a quality control check standard must beanalyzed to confirm that the measurements were performed in an in-control mode of operation.8.1.1The analyst must make an initial, one-time, demonstration of the ability togenerate acceptable accuracy and precision with this method. This ability isestablished as described in Section 8.2.8.1.2In recognition of advances that are occurring in chromatography, the analyst ispermitted certain options (detailed in Sections 10.5, 11.1, and 12.1) to improvethe separations or lower the cost of measurements. Each time such amodification is made to the method, the analyst is required to repeat theprocedure in Section 8.28.1.3Before processing any samples, the analyst must analyze a reagent water blankto demonstrate that interferences from the analytical system and glassware areunder control. Each time a set of samples is extracted or reagents are changed,a reagent water blank must be processed as a safeguard against laboratorycontamination.8.1.4The laboratory must, on an ongoing basis, spike and analyze a minimum of10% of all samples with native 2,3,7,8-TCDD to monitor and evaluate laboratorydata quality. This procedure is described in Section 8.3.8.1.5The laboratory must, on an ongoing basis, demonstrate through the analyses ofquality control check standards that the operation of the measurement system isin control. This procedure is described in Section 8.4. The frequency of thecheck standard analyses is equivalent to 10% of all samples analyzed but maybe reduced if spike recoveries from samples (Section 8.3) meet all specifiedquality control criteria.8.1.6The laboratory must maintain performance records to document the quality ofdata that is generated. This procedure is described in Section 8.5.8.2To establish the ability to generate acceptable accuracy and precision, the analyst mustperform the following operations.8.2.1 A quality control (QC) check sample concentrate is required containing2,3,7,8-TCDD at a concentration of 0.100 µg/mL in acetone. The QC checksample concentrate must be obtained from the U.S. Environmental ProtectionAgency, Environmental Monitoring and Support Laboratory in Cincinnati, Ohio,if available. If not available from that source, the QC check sample concentratemust be obtained from another external source. If not available from eithersource above, the QC check sample concentrate must be prepared by thelaboratory using stock standards prepared independently from those used forcalibration.8.2.2Using a pipet, prepare QC check samples at a concentration of 0.100 µg/L(100 ng/L) by adding 1.00 mL of QC check sample concentrate to each of four1 L aliquots of reagent water.8.2.3Analyze the well-mixed QC check samples according to the method beginningin Section 10.8.2.4recovery (s) in µg/L, for 2,3,7,8-TCDD using the four results.8.2.5) with the corresponding acceptance criteria for precision andcriteria, the system performance is acceptable and analysis of actual samplesaccuracy, the system performance is unacceptable for 2,3,7,8-TCDD. Locate andcorrect the source of the problem and repeat the test beginning withSection 8.2.2.8.3The laboratory must, on an ongoing basis, spike at least 10% of the samples from eachsample site being monitored to assess accuracy. For laboratories analyzing one to ten samples per month, at least one spiked sample per month is required.8.3.1The concentration of the spike in the sample should be determined as follows:8.3.1.1If, as in compliance monitoring, the concentration of 2,3,7,8-TCDD inthe sample is being checked against a regulatory concentration limit,the spike should be at that limit or one to five times higher than thebackground concentration determined in Section 8.3.2, whicheverconcentration would be larger.8.3.1.2If the concentration of 2,3,7,8-TCDD in the sample is not being checkedagainst a limit specific to that parameter, the spike should be at0.100 µg/L or one to five times higher than the backgroundconcentration determined in Section 8.3.2, whichever concentrationwould be larger.8.3.1.3If it is impractical to determine background levels before spiking (e.g.,maximum holding times will be exceeded), the spike concentrationshould be (1) the regulatory concentration limit, if any; or, if none(2) the larger of either five times higher than the expected backgroundconcentration or 0.100 µg/L.8.3.2Analyze one sample aliquot to determine the background concentration (B) of2,3,7,8-TCDD. If necessary, prepare a new QC check sample concentrate(Section 8.2.1) appropriate for the background concentration in the sample.Spike a second sample aliquot with 1.0 mL of the QC check sample concentrateand analyze it to determine the concentration after spiking (A) of 2,3,7,8-TCDD.Calculate percent recovery (P) as 100 (A-B)%T, where T is the known true valueof the spike.8.3.3Compare the percent recovery (P) for 2,3,7,8-TCDD with the corresponding QCacceptance criteria found in Table 2. These acceptance criteria were calculatedto include an allowance for error in measurement of both the background andspike concentrations, assuming a spike to background ratio of 5:1. This errorwill be accounted for to the extent that the analyst's spike to background ratio11approaches 5:1. If spiking was performed at a concentration lower than0.100 µg/L, the analyst must use either the QC acceptance criteria in Table 2, oroptional QC acceptance criteria calculated for the specific spike concentration.To calculate optional acceptance criteria for the recovery of 2,3,7,8-TCDD:(1) Calculate accuracy (X′) using the equation in Table 3, substituting the spike′) using the equation inTable 3, substituting X′concentration as (100 X′/T) ±2.44(100 S′/T)%.118.3.4If the recovery of 2,3,7,8-TCDD falls outside the designated range for recovery,a check standard must be analyzed as described in Section 8.4.8.4If the recovery of 2,3,7,8-TCDD fails the acceptance criteria for recovery in Section 8.3,a QC check standard must be prepared and analyzed.NOTE:The frequency for the required analysis of a QC check standard willdepend upon the complexity of the sample matrix and the performance ofthe laboratory.8.4.1Prepare the QC check standard by adding 1.0 mL of QC check sampleconcentrate (Section 8.2.1 or 8.3.2) to 1 L of reagent water.8.4.2Analyze the QC check standard to determine the concentration measured (A) of2,3,7,8-TCDD. Calculate the percent recovery (P K) as 100 (A/T)%, where T issthe true value of the standard concentration.8.4.3Compare the percent recovery (P K) with the corresponding QC acceptancescriteria found in Table 2. If the recovery of 2,3,7,8-TCDD falls outside thedesignated range, the laboratory performance is judged to be out of control, andthe problem must be immediately identified and corrected.

美国环保局 EPA  试验  方法9071bn-Hexane Extractable Material (HEM) for Sludge, Sediment, and Solid S

Internet9071B - 1Revision 2April 1998METHOD 9071Bn-HEXANE EXTRACTABLE MATERIAL (HEM) FOR SLUDGE, SEDIMENT, AND SOLID SAMPLES 1.0SCOPE AND APPLICATION1.1Method 9071 may be used to quantify low concentrations of oil and grease in soil,sediments, sludges, and other solid materials amenable to chemical drying and solvent extraction with n-hexane. “Oil and grease” is a conventional pollutant under 40 CFR 401.16 and generally refers to substances, including biological lipids and mineral hydrocarbons, that have similar physical characteristics and common solubility in an organic extracting solvent. As such, oil and grease is an operationally defined parameter, and the results will depend entirely on the extracting solvent and method of extraction. Method 9071 employs n-hexane as the extraction solvent with Soxhlet extraction and the results of this method are appropriately termed “n-hexane extractable material (HEM).” Section 1.2 lists the type of materials that may be extracted by this method. In the context of this method, “HEM” is used throughout this method and for operational purposes, may be considered synonymous with “oil and grease” within the limitations discussed below.1.2Specifically, Method 9071 is suitable for extracting relatively non-volatile hydrocarbons,vegetable oils, animal fats, waxes, soaps, greases, biological lipids, and related materials. 1.3Method 9071 is not recommended for measuring materials that volatilize at temperatures below 85E C. Petroleum fuels from gasoline through #2 fuel oil may be partially lost during the solvent removal process.1.4 Some crude oils and heavy fuel oils may contain materials that are not soluble in n-hexane, and recovery of these materials may be low.2.0SUMMARY OF METHOD2.1 A representative portion of wet (as received) waste is acidified with concentrated HCl and chemically dried with magnesium sulfate or sodium sulfate. Magnesium sulfate monohydrate is used to dry acidified sludges as it will combine with 75% of its own weight in water in forming MgSO C 7H O. Anhydrous sodium sulfate is used to dry soil and sediment samples. 4 2 2.2After drying, the HEM is extracted with n-hexane using a Soxhlet apparatus. The n-hexane extract is then distilled from the extract and the HEM is desiccated and weighed. 2.3 When necessary, a separate sample portion is evaluated for percent solids, and the dry weight fraction may be used to calculate the dry-weight HEM concentration of the soil, sediment,or waste.3.0DEFINITIONS3.1n-Hexane extractable material (HEM, oil and grease): Material that is extracted from a sample using n-hexane and determined by this method. This material includes relatively non-volatile hydrocarbons, vegetable oils, animal fats, waxes, soaps, greases, and related matter.3.2Refer to Chapter One for additional definitions.4.0INTERFERENCES4.1 This method is entirely empirical, and duplicate results having a high degree of precision can be obtained only by strict adherence to all details. The rate of cycling and time of extraction in the Soxhlet apparatus must be consistent and length of time required for drying and cooling extracted materials must be the same in order to generate consistent results. It is important that the procedures be performed as directed due to the varying solubilities of the different greases and heavy mineral oils.4.2Solvents, reagents, glassware, and other sample-processing hardware may yield artifacts that could affect the results. All solvents and reagents used in the analysis should be demonstrated to be free from interferences by processing a method blank with each analytical batch. Specific selection of reagents, solvent washes, or purification of solvents may be required. Use of plastic measuring devices, and/or plastic tubing attachments must be avoided.4.3Glassware should be cleaned by washing with hot tap water with detergent, rinsing with tap water and reagent water, and rinsing with solvent. Glassware may also be baked at 200-250E C for 1 hour. Boiling flasks that are used to contain the extracted residues may be dried in an oven at 105-115E C and stored in a desiccator until used. Depending on the project DQOs, strict adherence to the washing and handling procedures cited above may not be necessary as long as the laboratory can demonstrate that alternative cleaning procedures yield acceptable method performance and meet method blank acceptance criteria.4.4 A gradual increase in weight may result due to the absorption of oxygen; a gradual loss of weight may result due to volatilization. Extracted residues should be maintained in a desiccator during cooling and prior to weighing. Extracted residues should be weighed as soon as possible after cooling.4.5The presence of non-oily extractable substance such as sulfur compounds, organic dyes, and chlorophyll, may result in a positive bias. For the purpose of this method, all materials extracted and retained during this procedure are defined as HEM.5.0SAFETY5.1The toxicity or carcinogenicity of each reagent used in this method has not been precisely determined; however, each chemical should be treated as a potential health hazard. Exposure to these chemicals should be reduced to the lowest possible level. It is suggested that the laboratory perform personal hygiene monitoring of each analyst that uses this method. This monitoring should be performed using Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) approved personal hygiene monitoring methods. Results of this monitoring should be made available to the analyst.5.2n-Hexane has been shown to have increased neurotoxic effects over other hexanes and some other solvents. OSHA has proposed a time-weighted average (TWA) of 50 parts-per-million (ppm); NIOSH concurs that an 8-hour TWA/permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 50 ppm is appropriate for n-hexane; and the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) has published a threshold limit value (TLV) of 50 ppm for n-hexane. Inhalation of n-hexane should be minimized by performing all operations with n-hexane in a explosion-proof hood or well-ventilated area.Internet9071B - 2Revision 2April 19985.3n-Hexane has a flash point of -23E C (-9E F), has explosive limits in air in the range of 1 to 7 percent, and poses a serious fire risk when heated or exposed to flame. n-Hexane can react vigorously with oxidizing materials. The laboratory should include procedures in its operations that address the safe handling of n-hexane.5.4Unknown samples may contain high concentrations of volatile toxic compounds. Sample containers should be opened in a hood and handled with gloves to prevent exposure.5.5This method does not address all safety issues associated with its use. The laboratory is responsible for maintaining a safe work environment and a current awareness file of OSHA regulations regarding the safe handling of the chemicals specified in this method. A reference file of material safety data sheets (MSDSs) should be available to all personnel involved in these analyses.6.0EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES6.1Soxhlet extraction apparatus.6.2Heating mantle - explosion-proof, with temperature control.6.3Boiling flask - 125-mL or appropriate size.6.4Analytical balance - capable of weighing 0.1 mg.6.5Vacuum pump, or other vacuum source.6.6Paper extraction thimble for Soxhlet apparatus.6.7Glass wool or small glass beads to fill thimble.6.8Grease-free, non-absorbent cotton - To remove possible interferences, each batch of cotton should be washed with n-hexane.

The total concentration of this stock is 4000 mg/L (ppm) HEM. This standard may be used for spiking samples and preparing laboratory control samples. Store in a glass container with a fluoropolymer-lined cap at room temperature. Shield from light.Note:The spiking solution may require warming for complete dissolution of stearic acid.8.0SAMPLE COLLECTION, PRESERVATION, AND STORAGE8.1 A minimum of 100 grams of sample should be collected using a metal spatula, spoon, or equivalent device. Samples should be collected into a pre-cleaned wide-mouth glass container fitted with a TFE-lined screw cap.8.2 When practical (i.e., when the sample matrix allows the complete mixing of sample and acid such as with a pourable sludge or sediment), the sample should be preserved to a pH < 2 by adding 1 mL of concentrated HCl per 100 gram of sample and cooled to 4 ± 2 E C. If acidification is not practical (as with a dry soil), the addition of the HCl is not required and the sample should be cooled to 4 ± 2 E C. The laboratory must be notified so that the sample can be acidified prior to analysis.8.3 A holding time has not been established for HEM in solids, but it is recommended that the sample be analyzed as soon as possible.9.0QUALITY CONTROL9.1Each laboratory that uses this method is required to operate a formal quality control program. The minimum requirements of this program consist of an initial demonstration of laboratory capability and the analysis of spiked samples as a continuing check on performance. The laboratory is required to maintain performance records to define the quality of data that is generated.9.2 Employ a minimum of one method blank per analytical batch or twenty samples, whichever is more frequent, to verify that all reagents, solvents, and equipment are contamination free. Prepare the method blank from 5 g of inert matrix such as pre-cleaned sand or similar material, and carry it through the analytical process.9.3 Run one matrix duplicate and matrix spike sample every twenty samples or analytical batch, whichever is more frequent. Matrix duplicates and spikes are brought through the whole sample preparation and analytical process.9.4The performance of the method should be evaluated by the use of a Laboratory Control Sample (LCS). The LCS is prepared by spiking an inert matrix (as pre-cleaned sand or similar material) with an appropriate volume of spiking solution (Sec. 7.7) and carrying it through the analytical process.10.0CALIBRATION AND STANDARDIZATION10.1Calibrate the analytical balance at 2 mg and 1000 mg using class “S” weights.10.2Calibration shall be within ± 10% (i.e., ± 0.2 mg) at 2 mg and ± 0.5 % (i.e., ± 5 mg) at 1000 mg.

This study evaluated a total of six solvents, including n-hexane, to determine which of the alternative solvents produced results most closely with that of Freon-113. In this study, each waste was Soxhlet-extracted in triplicate using Freon-113 and each of the alternative solvents. Based on the overall results, n-hexane was judged to be the best alternative solvent. The data provided in Table 1 compare the results for Freon-113 and n-hexane for each waste. For a complete discussion of this study, refer to reference 1 in Section 16.0.14.0POLLUTION PREVENTION14.1Pollution prevention encompasses any technique that reduces or eliminates the quantity and/or toxicity of waste at the point of generation. Numerous opportunities for pollution prevention exist in laboratory operation. The EPA has established a preferred hierarchy of environmental management techniques that places pollution prevention as the management option of first choice.Whenever feasible, laboratory personnel should use pollution prevention techniques to address their waste generation. When wastes cannot be feasibly reduced at the source, the Agency recommends recycling as the next best option.14.2For information about pollution prevention that may be applicable to laboratories and research institutions consult Less is Better: Laboratory Chemical management for Waste Reduction available from the American Chemical Society’s Department of Government Relations and Science Policy, 1155 16th St., N.W. Washington, D.C. 20036, (202) 872-4477.15.0WASTE MANAGEMENTThe Environmental Protection Agency requires that laboratory waste management practices be conducted consistent with all applicable Federal, state and local rules and regulations. The Agency urges laboratories to protect the air, water, and land by minimizing and controlling all releases from hoods and bench operations, complying with the letter and spirit of any sewerdischarge permits and regulations, and by complying with all solid and hazardous waste regulations, particularly the hazardous waste identification rules and land disposal restrictions.

美国EPA 关于空气自动监测系统性能指标的规定和测试方法

美国EPA 关于空气自动监测系统性能指标的规定和测试方法

美国EPA关于大气自动监测系统性能指标的规定和测试方法引言环境空气污染的自动监测方法有多种,一般采用湿法和干法两种。

湿法是基于化学量理论的库仑法和电导法等测量原理,需使用大量试剂,存在试剂调整和废液处理等问题,操作比较繁琐,故障率较高,维护工作量较大;干法是基于物理光谱测量理论,使样品始终保持在气体状态,没有试剂的损耗,维护工作量较小。

比如SO2测量采用紫外荧光法,NOx测量采用化学发光法,O3测量采用紫外光度法,CO测量采用气体过滤相关分析法等,目前我国绝大部分空气自动监测采用的是该方法。

干法测量以欧美为主。

美国开展空气自动监测已有30年的历史,在空气自动监测方面积累了丰富的经验,并制定了详细的规范。

其中物理光谱法作为美国EPA的推荐方法,得到了广泛的应用。

湿法测量以日本为主,但自1996年起日本在法定的测量方法中增加了干式测量法。

利用物质的光谱特性进行污染物的分析已成为自动监测仪器发展的必然趋势。

我国在环境空气质量监测和质量保证方面的规定都参考了美国国家环保署(EPA)的规定。

目前,大气自动监测和空气质量日报工作在我国大部分省市已广泛开展,自动监测仪器监测数据的准确可靠是日报工作中的基础。

为使监测人员了解美国EPA关于空气自动监测的相关规定,特将其有关SO2、NO2、O3、CO自动监测仪器的性能指标规定和测试方法作简要说明,以供参考。

一、美国EPA对性能指标及判定原则的规定1、性能指标B-1自动监测仪器性能指标M/0.02447,M是该气体的摩尔质量。

2、判定原则对于每个性能指标(量程除外),测试程序从开始起要重复7次,得到7组测试结果。

每组结果要和表B-1中的规定指标相比较,高于或超出规定指标的值是一个超标值。

每个参数的7个结果说明如下:(1)0次超标:被测的参数合格;(2)3次或更多次超标:该参数不合格;(3)1次或2次超标:再重复测试该参数 8次,得到共15个测试结果。

将此15个测试结果说明如下:a:1次或2次超标:通过测试;b:3次以上:该参数不合格。

epa试验测试方法及计算方法

epa试验测试方法及计算方法English Answer:EPA Test Methods for Emissions.The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed a series of test methods to measure emissions from various sources, including stationary sources such as power plants and industrial facilities, and mobile sources such as vehicles and aircraft. These test methods are used to determine the levels of pollutants emitted into the atmosphere and to assess the effectiveness of pollution control technologies.Some of the most common EPA test methods include:Method 1: Sample and velocity traverses for stationary sources. This method describes the procedures for measuring the velocity and volumetric flow rate of gas streams in ducts, stacks, and chimneys.Method 2: Determination of stack gas velocity and volumetric flow rate (Type S pitot tube). This method is used to measure the velocity and volumetric flow rate of gas streams in stacks and ducts using a Type S pitot tube.Method 3: Gas analysis for the determination of dry molecular weight. This method is used to determine the dry molecular weight of a gas stream by measuring its density and composition.Method 4: Determination of moisture content in stack gases. This method is used to determine the moisture content of a gas stream by measuring the dew point or absolute humidity of the gas.Method 5: Determination of particulate matter emissions from stationary sources. This method is used to measure the concentration of particulate matter emissions from stationary sources by collecting the particles on a filter paper and measuring their mass.Method 10: Determination of carbon monoxide emissions from stationary sources. This method is used to measure the concentration of carbon monoxide emissions from stationary sources by using a continuous analyzer or a grab sample collection and analysis.Method 18: Measurement of gaseous organic compound emissions by gas chromatography. This method is used to measure the concentration of gaseous organic compound emissions from stationary sources by collecting a sample in a sorbent tube and analyzing it using gas chromatography.Calculation Methods.The EPA provides calculation methods for each test method to determine the concentration of pollutants emitted. The calculation methods typically involve using the measured data from the test method to calculate the mass or volume of the pollutant emitted per unit of time.For example, the calculation method for Method 5involves using the following equation to calculate theparticulate matter emission rate:ER = (C_s Q_sd) / (S t)。

美国环保局 EPA 试验 方法 9013Cyanide Extraction Procedure for Solids and Oils

美国环保局 EPA  试验  方法 9013Cyanide Extraction Procedure for Solids and Oils

METHOD 9013(APPENDIX TO METHOD 9010)CYANIDE EXTRACTION PROCEDURE FOR SOLIDS AND OILS1.0SCOPE AND APPLICATION1.1The extraction procedure described in this method is designed for the extraction of soluble cyanides from solid and oil wastes. The method is applicable to oil, solid, and multiphasic samples. This method is not applicable to samples containing insoluble cyanide compounds.2.0SUMMARY OF METHOD2.1If the waste sample contains so much solid, or solids of such a size as to interfere with agitation and homogenization of the sample mixture in the distillation flask, or so much oil or grease as to interfere with the formation of a homogeneous emulsion, the sample may be extracted with water at pH 10 or greater, and the extract distilled and analyzed by Method 9010. Samples that contain free water are filtered and separated into an aqueous component and a combined oil and solid component. The nonaqueous component may then be extracted, and an aliquot of the extract combined with an aliquot of the filtrate in proportion to the composition of the sample. Alternatively, the components may be analyzed separately, and cyanide levels reported for each component. However, if the sample solids are known to contain sufficient levels of cyanide (about 50 µg/g) as to be well above the limit of detection, the extraction step may be deleted and the solids analyzed directly by Method 9010. This can be accomplished by diluting a small aliquot of the waste solid (1-10 g) in 500 mL water in the distillation flask and suspending the slurry during distillation with a magnetic stir-bar.3.0INTERFERENCES3.1Potential interferences that may be encountered during analysis are discussed in Method 9010.4.0APPARATUS AND MATERIALS4.1Extractor - Any suitable device that sufficiently agitates a sealed container of one liter volume or greater. For the purpose of this analysis, agitation is sufficient when:1.All sample surfaces are continuously brought into contactwith extraction fluid, and2.The agitation prevents stratification of the sample andfluid.4.2Buchner funnel apparatus4.2.1Buchner funnel - 500-mL capacity, with 1-liter vacuumfiltration flask.4.2.2Glass wool - Suitable for filtering, 0.8 F m diameter suchas Corning Pyrex 3950.4.2.3Vacuum source - Preferably a water driven aspirator. Avalve or stopcock to release vacuum is required.4.3Top-loading balance - capable of weighing 0.1 g.4.4Separatory funnels - 500 mL.5.0REAGENTS5.1 Reagent grade chemicals shall be used in all tests. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended that all reagents shall conform to the specifications of the Committee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society, where such specifications are available. Other grades may be used, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is of sufficiently high purity to permit its use without lessening the accuracy of the determination.5.2Reagent water. All references to water in this method refer to reagent water, as defined in Chapter One.5.3Sodium hydroxide (50% w/v), NaOH. Commercially available.5.4n-Hexane, C H.6146.0SAMPLE COLLECTION, PRESERVATION, AND HANDLING6.1All samples must be collected using a plan that addresses the considerations discussed in Chapter 4 of this manual. See Section 6.0 of Method 9010 for additional guidance.7.0PROCEDURE7.1If the waste does not contain any free aqueous phase, go to Step 7.5. If the sample is a homogeneous fluid or slurry that does not separate or settle in the distillation flask when using a Teflon coated magnetic stirring bar but mixes so that the solids are entirely suspended, then the sample may be analyzed by Method 9010 without an extraction step.7.2Assemble Buchner funnel apparatus. Unroll glass filtering fiber and fold the fiber over itself several times to make a pad about 1 cm thick when lightly compressed. Cut the pad to fit the Buchner funnel. Weigh the pad, then place it in the funnel. Turn the aspirator on and wet the pad with a known amount of water.7.3Transfer the sample to the Buchner funnel in small aliquots, first decanting the fluid. Rinse the sample container with known amounts of water and add the rinses to the Buchner funnel. When no free water remains in the funnel, slowly open the stopcock to allow air to enter the vacuum flask. A small amount of sediment may have passed through the glass fiber pad. This will not interfere with the analysis.7.4Transfer the solid and the glass fiber pad to a tared weighingdish. Since most greases and oils will not pass through the fiber pad, solids, oils, and greases will be extracted together. If the filtrate includes an oil phase, transfer the filtrate to a separatory funnel. Collect and measure the volume of the aqueous phase. Transfer the oil phase to the weighing dish with the solid.7.5Weigh the dish containing solid, oil (if any), and filter pad.Subtract the weight of the dry filter pad. Calculate the net volume of water present in the original sample by subtracting the total volume of rinses used from the measured volume of the filtrate.7.6Place the following in a 1-liter wide-mouthed bottle:500 mL water5 mL 50% w/v NaOH50 mL n-Hexane (if a heavy grease is present)If the weight of the solids (Step 7.5) is greater than 25 g, weigh out a representative aliquot of 25 g and add it to the bottle; otherwiseadd all of the solids. Cap the bottle.7.7The pH of the extract must be maintained above 10 throughout theextraction step and subsequent filtration. Since some samples may release acid, the pH must be monitored as follows. Shake the extraction bottle and after one minute, check the pH. If the pH is below 12, add 50% NaOH in 5 mL increments until it is at least 12. Recap the bottle, and repeat the procedure until the pH does not drop.7.8Place the bottle or bottles in the tumbler, making surethere is enough foam insulation to cushion the bottle. Turn the tumbler on and allow the extraction to run for about 16 hours.7.9 Prepare a Buchner funnel apparatus as in Step 7.2 with a glass fiberpad filter.7.10 Decant the extract to the Buchner funnel. Full recovery of theextract is not necessary.7.11 If the extract contains an oil phase, separate the aqueous phaseusing a separatory funnel. Neither the separation nor the filtration are critical, but are necessary to be able to measure the volume of the aliquot of the aqueous extract analyzed. Small amounts of suspended solids and oil emulsions will not interfere.7.12 At this point, an aliquot of the filtrate of the original sample maybe combined with an aliquot of the extract in a proportion representative of the sample. Alternatively, they may be distilled and analyzed separately and concentrations given for each phase. This is described by the following equation:a c Liquid Sample Aliquot(mL) Solid Extracted(g) Total Sample Filtrate(mL)=Xb d Extract Aliquot(mL) Total Solid(g) Total Extraction Fluid(mL)aFrom Step 7.6. Weight of solid sample used for extraction.bFrom Step 7.5.

Does not include hexane, which is subsequently removed (Step 7.11).Alternatively, the aliquots may be distilled and analyzed separately, concentrations for each phase reported separately, and the amounts of each phase present in the sample reported separately.8.0QUALITY CONTROL8.1Refer to Method 9010.9.0METHOD PERFORMANCE9.1In a single laboratory study, recoveries of 60 to 90% are reported for solids and 88 to 92% for oils. The reported CVs are less than 13.10.0REFERENCES10.1Refer to Method 9010.CYANIDE EXTRACTION PROCEDURE FOR SOLIDS AND OILSCYANIDE EXTRACTION PROCEDURE FOR SOLIDS AND OILS (CONTINUED)。

EPA方法中,常用的监测技术包括气相色谱-质谱联用仪(GC-MS)和气相色谱仪(GC)。

在进行VOCs监测时,首先需从空气或水样品中提取目标物质,然后使用GC-MS或GC进行定性定量分析。

这些方法具有高灵敏度和准确度,对于环境中微量VOCs的检测非常有效。

其次,来介绍一种常用的水质监测方法,即EPA的标准方法522(EPA Method 522)。

该方法主要用于分析水中的多环芳烃(PAHs)。

PAHs是一类常见的有害物质,源自燃烧过程和工业排放。

在EPA Method 522中,使用气相色谱-质谱联用仪(GC-MS)进行PAHs的检测。

该方法采用固相萃取技术,从水样中富集PAHs,并通过GC-MS进行定性定量分析。

通过该方法,我们可以快速准确地监测水体中PAHs的含量,为水环境管理和保护提供科学依据。

此外,EPA还提出了许多其他的监测方法,如EPA Method 1600和EPA Method 1623等,这些方法主要用于微生物的监测。

例如,EPAMethod 1600用于检测饮用水和环境水体中的大肠杆菌等肠道致病菌的存在。

该方法采用滤膜法,将水样过滤后,将菌落生长于兔肠上进行检测。

而EPA Method 1623则用于监测水中的肠道病毒,如腺病毒和诺沃克病毒。

这些方法操作简单、结果可靠,对于保障水质安全具有重要意义。

除了上述方法外,EPA还提供了许多其它环境监测方法,如大气颗粒物的监测方法、土壤重金属的监测方法等。

这些方法为环境保护部门、科研机构以及行业监管提供了重要的技术支持。

美国环保局EPA试验方法美国环保局EPA试验方法9045dSoilandWastepH

美国环保局EPA试验方法美国环保局EPA试验方法9045dSoilandWastepHMETHOD 9045DSOIL AND WASTE pH1.0SCOPE AND APPLICATION1.1This method is an electrometric procedure for measuring pH in soils and waste samples. Wastes may be solids, sludges, or non-aqueous liquids. If water is present, it must constitute less than 20% of the total volume of the sample.2.0SUMMARY OF METHOD2.1The sample is mixed with reagent water, and the pH of the resulting aqueous solution is measured.3.0INTERFERENCES3.1Samples with very low or very high pH may give incorrect readings on the meter. For samples with a true pH of >10, the measured pH may be incorrectly low. This error can be minimized by using a low-sodium-error electrode. Strong acid solutions, with a true pH of <1, may give incorrectly high pH measurements.3.2Temperature fluctuations will cause measurement errors.3.3Errors will occur when the electrodes become coated. If an electrode becomes coated with an oily material that will not rinse free, the electrode can (1) be cleaned with an ultrasonic bath, or (2) be washed with detergent, rinsed several times with water, placed in 1:10 HCl so that the lower third of the electrode is submerged, and then thoroughly rinsed with water, or (3) be cleaned per the manufacturer's instructions.4.0APPARATUS AND MATERIALS4.1pH meter with means for temperature compensation.4.2Glass electrode.4.3Reference electrode -- A silver-silver chloride or other reference electrode of constant potential may be used.NOTE:Combination electrodes incorporating both measuring and referenced functions are convenient to use and are available with solid, gel-type filling materials that require minimal maintenance.4.4Beaker -- 50-mL.4.5Thermometer and/or temperature sensor for automatic compensation.4.6Analytical balance -- capable of weighing 0.1 g.5.0REAGENTS5.1Reagent grade chemicals shall be used in all tests. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended that all reagents shall conform to the specifications of the Committee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society, where such specifications are available. Other grades may be used, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is of sufficiently high purity to permit its use without lessening the accuracy of the determination.5.2Reagent water. All references to water in this method refer to reagent water, as defined in Chapter One.5.3Primary standard buffer salts are available from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and should be used in situations where extreme accuracy is necessary. Preparation of reference solutions from these salts requires some special precautions and handling, such as low-conductivity dilution water, drying ovens, and carbon-dioxide-free purge gas. These solutions should be replaced at least once each month.5.4Secondary standard buffers may be prepared from NIST salts or purchased as solutions from commercial vendors. Thesecommercially available solutions, which have been validated by comparison with NIST standards, are recommended for routine use.6.0SAMPLE PRESERVATION AND HANDLINGSamples should be analyzed as soon as possible.7.0PROCEDURE7.1Calibration7.1.1Because of the wide variety of pH meters and accessories, detailedoperating procedures cannot be incorporated into this method. Each analyst must beacquainted with the operation of each system and familiar with all instrument functions.Special attention to care of the electrodes is recommended.7.1.2Each instrument/electrode system must be calibrated ata minimum oftwo points that bracket the expected pH of the samples and are approximately three pH units or more apart. Repeat adjustments on successive portions of the two buffer solutions until readings are within 0.05 pH units of the buffer solution value. If anaccurate pH reading based on the conventional pH scale [0 to 14 at 25 E C] is required, the analyst should control sample temperature at 25 ± 1 E C when sample pH approaches the alkaline end of the scale (e.g., a pH of 11 or above).7.2Sample preparation and pH measurement of soils:7.2.1To 20 g of soil in a 50-mL beaker, add 20 mL of reagent water, cover, andcontinuously stir the suspension for 5 min. Additional dilutions are allowed if working with hygroscopic soils and saltsor other problematic matrices.7.2.2Let the soil suspension stand for about 1 hr to allow most of thesuspended clay to settle out from the suspension or filter or centrifuge off the aqueousphase for pH measurement.7.2.3Adjust the electrodes in the clamps of the electrode holder so that, uponlowering the electrodes into the beaker, the glass electrode will be immersed just deep enough into the clear supernatant solution to establish a good electrical contact through the ground-glass joint or the fiber-capillary hole. Insert the electrodes into the samplesolution in this manner.

METHOD 9012BTOTAL AND AMENABLE CYANIDE (AUTOMATED COLORIMETRIC,WITH OFF-LINE DISTILLATION)1.0 SCOPE AND APPLICATION1.1 This method is used to determine the concentration of inorganic cyanide (CAS Registry Number 57-12-5) in wastes or leachate. This method detects inorganic cyanides that are present as either soluble salts or complexes. It is used to determine values for both total cyanide and cyanide amenable to chlorination. The "reactive" cyanide content of a waste is not determined by this method. Refer to 40 CFR 261.23 for information on the characteristic of reactivity.2.0 SUMMARY OF METHOD2.1 The cyanide, as hydrocyanic acid (HCN), is released from samples containing cyanide by means of a reflux-distillation operation under acidic conditions and absorbed in a scrubber containing sodium hydroxide solution. The cyanide ion in the absorbing solution is then determined by automated UV colorimetry.2.2 In the automated colorimetric measurement, the cyanide is converted to cyanogen chloride (CNCl) by reaction with Chloramine-T at a pH less than 8 without hydrolyzing to the cyanate. After the reaction is complete, color is formed on the addition of pyridine-barbituric acid reagent. The concentration of NaOH must be the same in the standards, the scrubber solutions, and any dilution of the original scrubber solution to obtain colors of comparable intensity.3.0 INTERFERENCES3.1Interferences are eliminated or reduced by using the distillation procedure. Chlorine and sulfide are interferences in this method.3.2Oxidizing agents such as chlorine decompose most cyanides. Chlorine interferences can be removed by adding an excess of sodium arsenite to the waste prior to preservation and storage of the sample to reduce the chlorine to chloride which does not interfere.3.3Sulfide interference can be removed by adding an excess of bismuth nitrate to the waste (to precipitate the sulfide) before distillation. Samples that contain hydrogen sulfide, metal sulfides, or other compounds that may produce hydrogen sulfide during the distillation should be treated by the addition of bismuth nitrate.3.4High results may be obtained for samples that contain nitrate and/or nitrite. During the distillation, nitrate and nitrite will form nitrous acid, which will react with some organic compounds to form oximes. These compounds once formed will decompose under test conditions to generate HCN. The possibility of interference of nitrate and nitrite is eliminated by pretreatment with sulfamic acid just before distillation. Nitrate and nitrite are interferences when present at levels higher than 10 mg/L and in conjunction with certain organic compounds.3.5Thiocyanate is reported to be an interference when present at very high levels. Levels of 10 mg/L were not found to interfere in Method 9010.3.6Fatty acids, detergents, surfactants, and other compounds may cause foaming during the distillation when they are present in large concentrations and will make the endpoint of the titration difficult to detect. They may be extracted at pH 6-7.4.0 APPARATUS AND MATERIALS4.1Reflux distillation apparatus such as shown in Figure 1 or Figure 2. The boiling flask should be of one liter size with inlet tube and provision for condenser. The gas scrubber may be a 270-mL Fisher-Milligan scrubber (Fisher, Part No. 07-513 or equivalent). The reflux apparatus may be a Wheaton 377160 distillation unit or equivalent.4.2 Automated continuous-flow analytical instrument with:4.2.1 Sampler.4.2.2 Manifold.pump.4.2.3 Proportioning4.2.4 Heating bath with distillation coil.4.2.5 Distillationhead.4.2.6 Colorimeter equipped with a 15-mm flowcell and 570 nm filter.4.2.7 Recorder.4.3Hot plate stirrer/heating mantle.4.4pH meter.4.5Amber light.4.6Vacuum source.4.7Refrigerator.4.8 5 mL microburette.4.97 Class A volumetric flasks -- 100 and 250 mL.4.10Erlenmeyer flask -- 500 mL.5.0 REAGENTS5.1Reagent grade chemicals shall be used in all tests. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended that all reagents shall conform to the specifications of the Committee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society, where such specifications are available. Othergrades may be used, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is of sufficiently high purity to permit its use without lessening the accuracy of the determination.5.2Reagent water. All references to water in this method refer to reagent water, as defined in Chapter One.5.3Reagents for sample collection, preservation, and handling 5.3.1Sodium arsenite (0.1N), NaAsO 2. Dissolve 3.2 g of NaAsO 2 in 250 mL water.5.3.2Ascorbic acid, C 6H 8O 6.5.3.3Sodium hydroxide solution (50%), NaOH. Commercially available.5.3.4Acetic acid (1.6M) CH 3COOH. Dilute one part of concentrated acetic acidwith 9 parts of water.5.3.52,2,4-Trimethylpentane, C 8H 18.5.3.6Hexane, C 6H 14.5.3.7Chloroform, CHCl 3.5.4Reagents for cyanides amenable to chlorination5.4.1Calcium hypochlorite solution (0.35M), Ca(OCl)2.

See Sec. 5.3.1.5.4.4Potassium iodide starch paper.5.5Reagents for distillation5.5.1Sodium hydroxide (1.25N). See Sec. 5.4.2.5.5.2Bismuth nitrate (0.062M), Bi(NO)3 C 5H 2O. Dissolve 30 g of Bi(NO)3 C5H 2O in 100 mL of water. While stirring, add 250 mL of glacial acetic acid, CH 3COOH.

Dissolve 510 g ofMgCl 2 C 6H 2O in 1 liter of water.5.5.6Lead acetate paper.5.6Reagents for automated colorimetric determination5.6.1Pyridine-barbituric acid reagent -- Place 15 g of barbituric acid in a 250-mL volumetric flask, add just enough reagent water to wash the sides of the flask, and wet the barbituric acid. Add 75 mL of pyridine and mix. Add 15 mL of concentrated HCl, mix, and cool to room temperature. Dilute to 250 mL with reagent water and mix. This reagent is stable for approximately six months if stored in a cool, dark place.5.6.2Chloramine-T solution -- Dissolve 2.0 g of white, water solublechloramine-T in 500 mL of reagent water and refrigerate until ready to use.5.6.3Sodium hydroxide, 1 N -- Dissolve 40 g of NaOH in reagent water, anddilute to 1 liter.5.6.4All working standards should contain 2 mL of 1 N NaOH (Sec. 5.6.3) per100 mL.5.6.5Dilution water and receptacle wash water (NaOH, 0.25 N) -- Dissolve 10.0g of NaOH in 500 mL of reagent water. Dilute to 1 liter.6.0 SAMPLE COLLECTION, PRESERVATION, AND HANDLING6.1Samples should be collected in plastic or glass containers. All containers must be thoroughly cleaned and rinsed.6.2Oxidizing agents such as chlorine decompose most cyanides. To determine whether oxidizing agents are present, test a drop of the sample with potassium iodide-starch test paper. A blue color indicates the need for treatment. Add 0.1N sodium arsenite solution a few mL at a time until a drop of sample produces no color on the indicator paper. Add an additional 5 mL of sodium arsenite solution for each liter of sample. Ascorbic acid can be used as an alternative although it is not as effective as arsenite. Add a few crystals of ascorbic acid at a time until a drop of sample produces no color on the indicator paper. Then add an additional 0.6 g of ascorbic acid for each liter of sample volume.6.3Aqueous samples must be preserved by adding 50% sodium hydroxide until the pH is greater than or equal to 12 at the time of collection.6.4Samples should be chilled to 4 E C.6.5When properly preserved, cyanide samples can be stored for up to 14 days prior to sample preparation steps.6.6Solid and oily wastes may be extracted prior to analysis by Method 9013 (Cyanide Extraction Procedure for Solids and Oils). It uses a dilute NaOH solution (pH = 12) as the extractant. This yields extractable cyanide.6.7If fatty acids, detergents, and surfactants are a problem, they may be extracted using the following procedure. Acidify the sample with acetic acid (1.6M) to pH 6.0 to7.0. CAUTION:This procedure can produce lethal HCN gas.Extract with isooctane, hexane, or chloroform (preference in order named) with solvent volume equal to 20% of the sample volume. One extraction is usually adequate to reduce thecompounds below the interference level. Avoid multiple extractions or a long contact time at low pH in order to keep the loss of HCN at a minimum. When the extraction is completed,immediately raise the pH of the sample to above 12 with 50% NaOH solution.7.0 PROCEDURE7.1Pretreatment for cyanides amenable to chlorination7.1.1This test must be performed under amber light. K 3[Fe-(CN)6] maydecompose under UV light and hence will test positive for cyanide amenable tochlorination if exposed to fluorescent lighting or sunlight. Two identical sample aliquots are required to determine cyanides amenable to chlorination.7.1.2To one 500 mL sample or to a sample diluted to 500 mL, add calciumhypochlorite solution dropwise while agitating and maintaining the pH between 11 and 12with 1.25N sodium hydroxide until an excess of chlorine is present as indicated by KI-starch paper turning blue. The sample will be subjected to alkaline chlorination by this step. CAUTION: The initial reaction product of alkaline chlorination is the very toxic gascyanogen chloride; therefore, it is necessary that this reaction beperformed in a hood.7.1.3Test for excess chlorine with KI-starch paper and maintain this excess forone hour with continuous agitation. A distinct blue color on the test paper indicates a sufficient chlorine level. If necessary, add additional calcium hypochlorite solution.7.1.4After one hour, add 1 mL portions of 0.1N sodium arsenite until KI-starchpaper shows no residual chlorine. Add 5 mL of excess sodium arsenite to ensure the presence of excess reducing agent.7.1.5Test for total cyanide as described below in both the chlorinated and theunchlorinated samples. The difference of total cyanide in the chlorinated andunchlorinated samples is the cyanide amenable to chlorination.7.1.6If samples are known or suspected to contain sulfide, add 50 mL of0.062M bismuth nitrate solution through the air inlet tube. Mix for three minutes. Use lead acetate paper to check the sample for the presence of sulfide. A positive test is indicated by a black color on the paper.7.2Distillation procedure7.2.1Place 500 mL of sample, or sample diluted to 500 mL in the one literboiling flask. Pipet 50 mL of 1.25N sodium hydroxide into the gas scrubber. If theapparatus in Figure 1 is used, add water until the spiral is covered. Connect the boiling flask, condenser, gas scrubber and vacuum trap.7.2.2Start a slow stream of air entering the boiling flask by adjusting thevacuum source. Adjust the vacuum so that approximately two bubbles of air per second enter the boiling flask through the air inlet tube.7.2.3If samples are known or suspected to contain nitrate or nitrite, or if bismuth nitrate was added to the sample, add 50 mL of 0.4N sulfamic acid solution through the air inlet tube. Mix for three minutes.NOTE: Excessive use of sulfamic acid could create method bias.7.2.4Slowly add 50 mL of 18N sulfuric acid through the air inlet tube. Rinse the tube with water and allow the airflow to mix the flask contents for three minutes. Add 20 mL of 2.5M magnesium chloride through the air inlet and wash the inlet tube with a stream of water.7.2.5Heat the solution to boiling. Reflux for one hour. Turn off heat and continue the airflow for at least 15 min. After cooling the boiling flask, and closing the vacuum source, disconnect the gas scrubber.7.2.6Transfer the solution from the scrubber into a 250-mL volumetric flask. Rinse the scrubber into the volumetric flask. Dilute to volume with water.7.3 Automated colorimetric determination7.3.1 Set up the manifold in a hood or a well-ventilated area as shown in Figure 3.7.3.2 Allow colorimeter and recorder to warm up for 30 min. Run a baseline with all reagents, feeding reagent water through the sample line.7.3.3 Place appropriate standards in the sampler in order of increasing concentration. Complete loading of the sampler tray with unknown samples.7.3.4 When the baseline becomes steady, begin the analysis.7.4Standard curve for samples without sulfide7.4.1Prepare a series of standards by pipetting suitable volumes of working standard potassium cyanide solution into 250-mL volumetric flasks. To each flask, add 50 mL of 1.25N sodium hydroxide and dilute to 250 mL with water. Prepare using the following table. The sodium hydroxide concentration will be 0.25N.mL of Working Standard Solution(1 mL = 10 µg CN-)Concentration (µg CN-/L)0.01.02.0 5.0 10.0 15.0 20.0Blank 40 80 200 400 600 8007.4.2After the standard solutions have been prepared according to the table above, pipet 50 mL of each standard solution into a 100-mL volumetric flask and proceedto Secs. 7.3.2 and 7.3.3 to obtain absorbance values for the standard curve. The finalconcentrations for the standard curve will be one half of the amounts in the above table (final concentrations ranging from 20 to 400 µg/L).7.4.3It is recommended that at least two standards (a high and a low) bedistilled and compared to similar values on the curve to ensure that the distillationtechnique is reliable. If distilled standards do not agree within ± 10% of the undistilledstandards, the analyst should find the cause of the apparent error before proceeding.7.4.4Prepare a standard curve ranging from 20 to 400 µg/L by plottingabsorbance of standard versus the cyanide concentration7.5Standard curve for samples with sulfide7.5.1It is imperative that all standards be distilled in the same manner as thesamples using the method of standard additions (for example, bismuth nitrate must also be added to the standards). Standards distilled by this method will give a linear curve, at low concentrations, but as the concentration increases, the recovery decreases. It isrecommended that at least five standards be distilled.7.5.2Prepare a series of standards similar in concentration to those mentionedin Sec. 7.4.1 and analyze as in Sec. 7.3. Prepare a standard curve by plotting absorbance of standard versus the cyanide concentration.7.6 Calculation -- Prepare a standard curve by plotting peak heights of standards against their concentration values. Compute concentrations of samples by comparing sample peak heights with the standard curve.8.0 QUALITY CONTROL8.1Refer to Chapter One for specific quality control procedures.8.2Verify the calibration curve with an independent calibration check standard. If the standards are not within 15% of the expected value, a new recalibration curve is required. Verify the calibration curve with every sample batch by analyzing a mid-range standard.8.3Run one matrix spike sample for every 10 samples to check the efficiency of sample distillation. A matrix spike should be prepared by adding cyanide from the working standard or intermediate standard to 500 mL of sample to ensure a concentration of approximately 40 µg/L. Both the matrix duplicate and matrix spike duplicate are brought through the entire sample preparation and analytical process.8.4 The method of standard additions shall be used for the analysis of all samples that suffer from matrix interferences such as samples which contain sulfides.9.0 METHOD PERFORMANCE9.1 Precision and accuracy data are not available at this time.10.0REFERENCES1.
