Fertilizers - Determination of trace elements - Determination of cadmium, chromium, lead and nickel by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) after aqua regia dissolution

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the content of cadmium, chromium, nickel and lead in fertilizers with inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) after extraction with aqua regia. Limits of quantification are dependent on the sample matrix as well as on the instrument, but can roughly be expected to be 0,3 mg/kg for Cd and 1 mg/kg for Cr, Ni and Pb.
NOTE   Due to significant interference from Cu, Fe and Mn, no valid results can be reported using this method for fertilizer matrices containing high concentrations (>/= 10 %) of these micro-nutrients.

Düngemittel - Bestimmung von Elementspuren - Bestimmung von Cadmium, Chrom, Blei und Nickel mit Atomemissionsspektrometrie mit induktiv gekoppeltem Plasma (ICP-AES) nach Königswasseraufschluss

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Gehalts an Cadmium, Chrom, Nickel und Blei in Düngemitteln mit Atomemissionsspektrometrie mit induktiv gekoppeltem Plasma (ICP-AES) nach Königswasseraufschluss fest. Die Bestimmungsgrenzen sind sowohl von der Probenmatrix als auch vom verwendeten Gerät abhängig, werden jedoch etwa bei 0,3 mg/kg für Cd und 1 mg/kg für Cr, Ni und Pb erwartet.
ANMERKUNG   Aufgrund signifikanter Störungen durch Cu, Fe und Mn können bei Anwendung dieses Verfahrens für Düngemittelmatrizes mit hohen Konzentrationen (≥ 10 %) dieser Spurennährstoffe keine zuverlässigen Ergebnisse ausgewiesen werden.

Engrais - Dosage des éléments trace - Détermination du cadmium, chrome, plomb et nickel par spectrométrie d'émission atomique avec plasma induit par haute fréquence (ICP-AES) après digestion à l'eau régale

La présente norme européenne spécifie une méthode permettant de déterminer la teneur en cadmium, chrome, nickel et plomb dans les engrais par spectrométrie d’émission atomique avec plasma à couplage inductif (ICP-AES) après extraction à l’eau régale. Les limites de quantification dépendent de la matrice de l’échantillon ainsi que de l’instrument, mais peuvent être attendues de l’ordre de 0,3 mg/kg pour Cd et 1 mg/kg pour Cr, Ni et Pb.
NOTE Du fait d’une interférence significative du Cu, Fe et Mn, aucun résultat valide ne peut être donné en utilisant cette méthode pour les matrices engrais contenants des concentrations élevés (≥ 10%) en ces oligo-éléments.

Gnojila - Določevanje elementov v sledovih - Določevanje kadmija, kroma, svinca in niklja z atomsko emisijsko spektrometrijo z induktivno sklopljeno plazmo (ICP-AES) po raztapljanju v zlatotopki

Ta evropski standard določa metodo za določevanje vsebnosti kadmija, kroma, niklja in svinca v gnojilih z atomsko emisijsko spektrometrijo z induktivno sklopljeno plazmo (ICP-AES) po ekstrakciji z zlatotopko. Meje kvantifikacije so odvisne od matrice vzorca in instrumenta, vendar za Cd običajno znašajo približno 0,3 mg/kg, za Cr, Ni in Pb pa 1 mg/kg.

≈ 1,42 g/ml. SIST EN 16319:2013

6.4 Mixed solution of 0,8 mol/l nitric acid and 1,8 mol/l hydrochloric acid. Mix 150 ml of hydrochloric acid (6.2) and 50 ml nitric acid (6.3) to 1,0 l of water (6.1). 6.5 Standard stock solutions, cadmium, chromium, nickel and lead standard stock solutions, e.g.
= 1 000 mg/l for each element. Use suitable stock solutions. Both single-element stock solutions and multi-element stock solutions with adequate specification stating the acid used and the preparation technique are commercially available. It is recommended to use commercially available standard stock solutions for cadmium, chromium, nickel and lead. 6.6 Working standard solutions. Depending on the scope, different working standard solutions may be necessary. In general, when combining elements in working standard solutions, their chemical compatibility shall be regarded. Spectral interferences from other elements present in working standard solutions also need to be considered. Various combinations of elements at different concentrations may be used, provided that the standard stock solutions (6.5) are diluted with the same acid and in equal concentration as the acid in the test solution.
NOTE In equal concentrations (in mg/l), cadmium, chromium, nickel and lead are compatible in a multi-element standard solution for the determination by ICP-AES for this application. 6.6.1 Working standard solution I,
= 100 mg/l for cadmium, chromium, nickel and lead.
Dilute 10,0 ml of each standard stock solution of cadmium, chromium, nickel and lead (6.5) to 100,0 ml with the mixed acid solution (6.4) in the same 100 ml flask. If non-equal concentrations of cadmium, chromium, nickel and lead are needed, dilute the required volumes into 100,0 ml. This solution is used to prepare spiked test solutions and standard and calibration solutions. 6.6.2 Working standard solution II,
= 10 mg/l for cadmium, chromium, nickel and lead. Dilute 10,0 ml of the working standard solution I of cadmium, chromium, nickel and lead (6.6.1) to 100,0 ml with the mixed acid solution (6.4) in a 100 ml flask. If non-equal concentrations of cadmium, chromium, nickel and lead are needed, dilute the require volume from the standard stock solutions (6.5) into 100,0 ml. This solution is used to prepare spiked test solutions and calibration solutions. 7 Apparatus 7.1 Common laboratory glassware. 7.2 Analytical balance, capable of weighing to an accuracy of 1 mg. 7.3 Inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometer, with axial or radial viewing of the plasma and with suitable background correction. The settings of the working conditions (e.g. gas flows, RF or plasma power, sample uptake rate, integration time and number of replicates) shall be optimized according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Radial viewing of the plasma may be used if it can be shown that the limits of quantification for cadmium, chromium, nickel and lead are below the required legal limit values. The use of axial orientation of the viewing optics requires good control of the matrix effects coming from "easily ionisable elements" (i.e. the influence of easily ionisable elements in varying concentrations on the signal intensities of the analytes).
7.5 Ash-free filter paper, i.e. Whatman® 589/21) or equivalent quality. 8 Procedure 8.1 General Calibrations by standard additions with several standards or by matrix matching are very powerful calibration techniques and can be used to accurately correct for matrix effects from easy-ionisable elements (multiplicative matrix effects). Additive matrix effects (i.e. spectral interferences) are not corrected for with standard additions calibration. For matrix matching, additive matrix effects will be corrected for when the added matrix is the cause of the matrix effect. The main drawback of calibration by standard addition with several standards is the requirement for a calibration function for each sample type, which is a time consuming process. For matrix matching a profound knowledge of the sample matrix is needed, which is not always necessarily available. These two techniques may thus not be practical to use in routine fertilizer laboratories. Correction by internal standardization is also a good option, but the accuracy of the measurements after internal standard correction should be validated properly prior to use on unknown fertilizer samples. It is therefore suggested that calibrations are to be performed by means of external calibration and correction of matrix effects by addition of one known spike of a standard solution (spike recovery). The method of external calibration and correction for spike recovery allows for the analysis of fertilizers with unknown matrix composition or with a matrix that cannot be synthetically imitated easily. This calibration technique may not be as precise as calibration by standard additions with several standards but the increased uncertainty is small compared to the total uncertainty of the method, if the total analyte concentration is in the linear working range after the spike and the added spike corresponds to at least a doubling of the analyte concentration. Many matrix errors can be compensated for by this procedure, if they are not additive (e.g. spectral interferences). Aliquots of the sample solution are analyzed by the means of external calibration and then one aliquot is spiked with known concentrations of the analytes without changing the matrix of the s
