Foreword
IS0 (the international Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of
preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which
a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented
on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-
governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard IS0 8658 was prepared by the British Standards
Institution (BSI) (as BS 6043: Part 2: Section 2.3:1989) and was adopted,
under a special “fast-track procedure”, by Technical Committee ISORC 47,
Chemistry in parallel with its approval by the IS0 member bodies

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD @ IS0
Carbonaceous materials for use in the production of aluminium -
Green and calcined coke - Determination of trace elements by
flame atomic absorption spectroscopy
1 Scope
This International Standard describes a method for the determination of trace elements in green and calcined coke
with an ash content of not greater than 1 % (m/m) and with individual concentrations not greater than the following:
Calcium 0,025 % (mlm)
Chromium 0,005 % (m/m)
Copper 0,025 % (mlm)
Iron 0,030 % (m/m)
Lead 0,010 % (m/m)
Magnesium 0,010 % (m/m)
0,001 % (m/m)
Manganese
Nickel 0,050 % (m/m)
Silicon 0,100 % (m/m)
Vanadium 0,100 % (m/m)
0,004 % (m/m)
Zinc
NOTE - A method for the determination of ash of cokes is given in IS0 8005:1984, Carbonaceous materials used in the
production of a/uminium - Green and cakined coke - Determination of ash. However, it is essential that the ash produced by
that method not be used in the procedure of this International Standard because of the risk of contamination by trace elements.

3 Principle
A test portion sample is heated in a muffle furnace at 700 OC for IO h and the ash produced is fused with a mixture
of sodium carbonate and orthoboric acid. The melt is dissolved in dilute hydrochloric acid and the trace metal
content is analysed by flame atomic absorption spectrometry.
