In view of its intended use as a sample for proficiency testing or as a reference material the stability of the extractable trace element contents of a soil from an irrigation field was tested using the extraction with 1 mol/L ammonium nitrate solution according to DIN 19730. Therefore, changes of the extractability of sterilized and non sterilized soil samples stored at different temperatures were evaluated over a period of 18 months. Sets of bottles were kept at -20 °C, +4 °C, about +20 °C and +40 °C, respectively. The NH4NO3 extractable contents of Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn were determined immediately after bottling and then after 3, 6, 12 and 18 months with ICP-AES or ETAAS. Appropriate storage conditions are of utmost importance to prevent deterioration of soil samples prepared for the determination of NH4NO3 extractable trace element contents. Temperatures above +20 °C must be avoided. The observed changes in the extractability of the metals (especially for Cr and Cu) most likely could be related to thermal degradation of the organic matter of the soil. There is no need to sterilize dry soil samples, because microbiological activity in soils with a low moisture content appears to be negligible with regard to trace element mobilization.
Quantification of sulphur in copper metals by isotope dilution LA-ICP-MS using polyethylene frits
(2018)
Sulphur is one of the relevant impurities in copper and its alloys affecting their material properties. To ensure the quality of copper products, fast direct solid sampling techniques are very attractive. However, for the calibration suitable matrix reference materials are required. For the certification of such reference materials appropriate, SI-traceable analytical methods are essential. Therefore, a procedure was developed to quantify total sulphur in copper by combining the classical isotope dilution (ID) technique and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS).
Here, for the first time, polyethylene (PE) frits were used to prepare appropriate solid samples for the sulphur quantification in copper metals (alloyed/unalloyed) by isotope dilution LA-ICP-MS. The properties of the PE frit meet the requirements as porous material with high absorption efficiency, thermal and chemical resistance as well as low sulphur blank. Different copper reference materials were used to develop and validate the procedure. The copper samples were spiked with 34S, digested with nitric acid and then the digests were absorbed on PE frits. After drying, the frits were analysed by LA-ICP-IDMS using a Nd:YAG laser at 213 nm coupled to an ICP sector field mass spectrometer. It could be demonstrated, that the sample solution dispersed on the frits did not influence the 32S/34S ratio significantly even though the sulphur intensities were fluctuating along the scanned lines. Relative standard deviations of the isotope ratios were below 5 % in average between three line scans (except for the pure spike solution and procedure blank). The measurement results were validated by comparing them with the results obtained by conventional ICP-IDMS after analyte-matrix separation. Plotting the mass fraction of sulphur in copper obtained by LA-ICP-IDMS versus those obtained by ICP-IDMS yields a linear curve with a correlation coefficient of 0.9999 showing a strong agreement between both techniques.
The metrological traceability to the SI from the kg down to the sulphur mass fraction in copper is established by an unbroken chain of comparisons, each accompanied by an uncertainty budget. Thus, the measurement results are considered reliable, acceptable and comparable within the stated measurement uncertainty.
Evaluation of methods for the analysis of soils according to § 8 of the German Federal Soil Protection Act (BBodSchG)
The German Federal Soil Protection Act establishes the conditions for effective soil protection and remediation of contaminated sites. In the German Federal Soil Protection and Contaminated Sites Ordinance (BBodSchV) limiting values and methods for the determination of environmentally harmful substances in soils are fixed. The aim of this project was to evaluate selected methods by comparative investigations and proficiency testing schemes. New methods for the determination of inorganic and organic pollutants should be developed and compared with the existing standard
methods. Despite the widespread use of ICP-OES up to now no national or international standard is available for the determination of heavy metals in soil extracts with this analytical method. The influence of spectral and non spectral interferences on the accuracy of the results was systematically investigated, especially based on aqua regia soil extracts. Analyte concentration equivalents were determined, too. Based on these results a proposal for a standard was submitted to the corresponding working group of ISO TC 190.[...]
