the user program for each new lot of arsenic absorber solution.

Prepare the arsenic absorber solution before starting the test procedure. Refer to Reagent preparation on page 5.

Set up the distillation apparatus in a fume hood to prevent exposure to hazardous gas.

In bright light conditions (e.g., direct sunlight), close the cell compartment, if applicable, with the protective cover during

measurements.

Do not use the Pour-Thru Cell or sipper module (for applicable instruments) with this test.

Review the Safety Data Sheets (MSDS/SDS) for the chemicals that are used. Use the recommended personal protective

equipment.

Dispose of reacted solutions according to local, state and federal regulations. Refer to the Safety Data Sheets for disposal

information for unused reagents. Refer to the environmental, health and safety staff for your facility and/or local regulatory

agencies for further disposal information.

hydrochloric acid and rinsed with deionized water.

• To preserve samples for later analysis, adjust the sample pH to less than 2 with

concentrated sulfuric acid (approximately 2 mL per liter). No acid addition is

necessary if the sample is tested immediately.

• Keep the preserved samples at room temperature for a maximum of 6 months.

• Before analysis, adjust the pH to approximately 7 with 5 N sodium hydroxide solution.

• Correct the test result for the dilution caused by the volume additions.

Reagent preparation

CAUTION

Chemical exposure hazard. Obey laboratory safety procedures and wear all of the

personal protective equipment appropriate to the chemicals that are handled. Refer to the

3. Mix well to dissolve. Keep the reagent, tightly sealed, for a maximum of 1 month in an

amber bottle.

Calibration

This method requires a user-prepared calibration curve. Enter the calibration curve into

standard solution concentration is selected on the display and push READ.

10. Continue to measure the remaining standard solutions.

11. Push GRAPH. Make sure that FORCE ZERO is off.

12. If the graph is acceptable select DONE>EXIT.

13. Save (store) the user program. When the user program is selected in the test

procedure, the calibration curve is used to measure the sample concentration.

Summary of Method

A mixture of zinc, stannous chloride, potassium iodide and hydrochloric acid reduces the

arsenic into arsine gas in a specially equipped distillation apparatus. The arsine goes

through a scrubber that uses a cotton ball soaked with lead acetate for sulfide removal.

Then the arsine goes into an absorber tube that contains a solution of silver

diethyldithiocarbamate in pyridine. The arsenic reacts to form a red complex that is read

colorimetrically. A manual calibration is necessary for this procedure. The measurement

wavelength is 520 nm.
