specific to this standard:3.2.1 total recoverable ironan arbitrary analytical term relating to the recoverable forms of iron that are determinable by the digestion method which is included in these test methods.4. significance and use4.1 iron is the second most abundant metallic element in the earths crust and is essential in the metabolism of plants and animals. if presented in excessive amounts, however, it forms oxyhydroxide precipitates that stain laundry and porcelain. asa result, the recommended limit for iron in domestic water supplies is 0.3 mg/l. these test methods are useful for determining iron in many natural waters.5. purity of reagents5.1 reagent grade chemicals shall be used in all tests. unless otherwise indicated, it is intended that all reagents shall conform to

suchspecifications are available. 5 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.5.2 purity of waterunless otherwise indicated, references to water shall be understood to mean reagent water conforming to specification d 1193, type i. other reagent water types may be used, provided it is first ascertained that the water is of sufficiently high purity to permit its use without adversely affecting the bias and precision of the test method. type ii water was specified at the time of round-robin testing of these test methods. in addition, water used in preparing solutions for the determination of ferrous iron shall be freshly boiled and essentially oxygen free.6. sampling6.1 collect the sample in accordance with practice d 1066, specification d 1192, or practices d 3370, as applicable.6.2 samples should be preserved with hno3 or hcl (sp gr1.42) to a ph of 2 or less immediately at the time of collection.if only dissolved iron is to be determined, the sample shall be filtered through a 0.45-m membrane filter before acidification. the holding time for samples can be calculated in accordance with practice d 4841.6.3 if ferrous iron is to be determined, the sample should be analyzed as soon as possible after collection and contact with atmospheric oxygen should be minimized.6.4 additional information on sampling requirements fortest method d is provided in 34.1.test method aatomic absorption, direct7. scope7.1 this test method covers the determination of dissolved and total recoverable iron in most waters and wastewaters.7.2 this test method is applicable in the range from 0.1 to5.0 mg/l of iron. the range may be extended to concentrations greater than 5.0 mg/l by dilution of the sample.7.3 this test method has been used successfully with reagent water; tap, ground, and surface waters; unspecified wastewaters; and a refinery primary treatment water. it is the users responsibility to ensure the validity of this test method for waters of untested matrices.8. summary of test method8.1 iron is determined by atomic absorption spectrophotom- etry. dissolved iron is determined by atomizing the filtered sample directly with no pretreatment. total recoverable iron is determined by atomizing the sample following hydrochloric- nitric acid digestion and filtration. the same digestion proce- dure may be used to determine total recoverable nickel (test5 reagent chemicals, american chemical society specifications,

oxidant shall be maintained at pressures somewhat higher than the controlled operating pressure of the instrument by suitable valves.11. reagents and materials11.1 hydrochloric acid (sp gr 1.19)concentrated hydro- chloric acid (hcl).note 3if the reagent blank concentration is greater than the method detection limit, distill the hcl or use a spectrograde acid. precaution when hcl is distilled an azeotropic mixture is obtained (approximately 6n hcl). therefore, when concentrated hcl is specified for the preparation of reagents or in the procedure, use double the volume specified if distilled acid is used.11.2 nitric acid (sp gr 1.42)concentrated nitric acid(hno3).note 4if the reagent blank concentration is greater than the method detection limit, distill the hno3 or use a spectrograde acid.11.3 nitric acid (1 + 499)add 1 volume of hno3 (sp gr1.42) to 499 volumes of water.11.4 iron solution, stock (1 ml = 1.0 mg iron)dissolve1.000 g of pure iron in 100 ml of hcl (1 + 1)

been passed through a suitable filter to remove oil, water, and other foreign substances is the usual oxidant.11.7 fuel:11.7.1 acetylenestandard, commercially available acety- lene is the usual fuel. acetone, always present in acetylene2d 1068 03 cylinders can affect analytical results. the cylinder should bereplaced at 50 psig (345 kpa).note 5warning: “purified grade acetylene containing a special proprietary solvent rather than acetone should not be used with poly vinyl chloride tubing as weakening of the tubing walls can cause a potentially hazardous situation.water of choice:st 5

samples on a steam bath or hotplate in a well-ventilated hood until the volume has been reduced to 15 to 20 ml, making certain that the samples do not boil.note 7when analyzing samples of brines or samples containing appreciable amounts of suspended matter or dissolved solids, the amount of reduction in volume is left to the discretion of the analyst.13.4 cool and filter the samples through a suitable filter(such as fine-textured, acid-washed, ashless paper), into100-ml volumetric flasks. wash the filter paper two or three times with water and adjust a volume.13.5 aspirate each filtered and acidified sample and deter- mine its absorbance or concentration at 248.3 nm. aspirate hno3 (1 + 499) between each sample.14. calculationx= determined concentration of iron, mg/l.15.2 recoveries of known amounts of iron in a series of prepared standards were as shown in table 1.15.3 the collaborative test data were obtained on reagent water; tap, lake, ground and surface water; unspecified waste- water; and a refinery primary treatment water. it is the users responsibility to ensure the validity of this test method for waters of untested matrices.15.4 this section on precision and bias conforms to practice d 2777 77 which was in place at the time of collaborative testing. under the allowances made in 1.4 of d 2777 98, these precision and bias data do meet existing requirements of interlaboratory studies of committee d19 test methods.16. quality control16.1 in order to be certain that analytical values obtained using these test methods are valid and accurate within the confidence limits of the test, the following qc procedures must be followed when analyzing iron.16.2 calibration and calibration verification:16.2.1 analyze at least three working standards containing concentrations of iron that bracket the expected sample con- centration, prior to analysis of samples, to calibrate the instrument. the calibration correlation coefficient shall be equal to or greater than 0.990. in addition to the initial calibration blank, a calibration blank shall be analyzed at the end of the batch run to ensure contamination was not a problem during the batch analysis.16.2.2

there has been a major change in the measurement system, for example, new analyst, new instrument, etc., a precision and bias study must be performed to demonstrate laboratory capability.16.3.2 analyze seven replicates of a standard solution prepared from an independent reference material containing a mid-range concentration of iron. the matrix and chemistry of the solution should be equivalent to the solution used in the collaborative study. each replicate must be taken through the complete analytical test method including any sample preser- vation and pretreatment steps. the replicates may be inter- spersed with samples.16.3.3 calculate the mean and standard deviation of the seven values and compare to the acceptable ranges of bias in table 1. this study should be repeated until the recoveries are within the limits given in table 1. if a concentration other than the recommended concentration is used, refer to practice d 5847 for information on applying the f test and t test in evaluating the acceptability of the mean and standard devia- tion.16.4 laboratory control sample (lcs):16.4.1 to ensure that the test method is in control, analyzea lcs containing a known concentration of iron with each batch or 10 samples. if large numbers of samples are analyzed in the batch, analyze the lcs after every 10 samples. the laboratory control samples for a large
