METHOD 200.7DETERMINATION OF METALS AND TRACE ELEMENTS IN WATER AND WASTESBY INDUCTIVELY COUPLED PLASMA-ATOMIC EMISSION SPECTROMETRY1.0SCOPE AND APPLICATION1.1Inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) is used todetermine metals and some nonmetals in solution. This method is aconsolidation of existing methods for water, wastewater, and solid wastes. 1-4(For analysis of petroleum products see References 5 and 6, Section 16.0) Thismethod is applicable to the following analytes:Chemical Abstract ServicesRegistry Number 7631-86-97440-22-4aCerium has been included as method analyte for correction of potentialinterelement spectral interference.bThis method is not suitable for the determination of silica in solids.200.7-2

Chemical Abstract ServicesRegistry Number 1.2For reference where this method is approved for use in compliance monitoringprograms [e.g., Clean Water Act (NPDES) or Safe Drinking Water Act(SDWA)] consult both the appropriate sections of the Code of FederalRegulation (40 CFR Part 136 Table 1B for NPDES, and Part 141 § 141.23 fordrinking water), and the latest Federal Register announcements.1.3ICP-AES can be used to determine dissolved analytes in aqueous samples aftersuitable filtration and acid preservation. To reduce potential interferences,dissolved solids should be 0.2% (w/v) (Section 4.2).1.4With the exception of silver, where this method is approved for thedetermination of certain metal and metalloid contaminants in drinking water,samples may be analyzed directly by pneumatic nebulization without aciddigestion if the sample has been properly preserved with acid and hasturbidity of 1 NTU at the time of analysis. This total recoverabledetermination procedure is referred to as "direct analysis". However, in thedetermination of some primary drinking water metal contaminants,preconcentration of the sample may be required prior to analysis in order tomeet drinking water acceptance performance criteria (Sections 11.2.2 through11.2.7).1.5For the determination of total recoverable analytes in aqueous and solidsamples a digestion/extraction is required prior to analysis when the elementsare not in solution (e.g., soils, sludges, sediments and aqueous samples thatmay contain particulate and suspended solids). Aqueous samples containingsuspended or particulate material 1% (w/v) should be extracted as a solidtype sample.1.6When determining boron and silica in aqueous samples, only plastic, PTFE orquartz labware should be used from time of sample collection to completion ofanalysis. For accurate determination of boron in solid samples only quartz orPTFE beakers should be used during acid extraction with immediate transferof an extract aliquot to a plastic centrifuge tube following dilution of theextract to volume. When possible, borosilicate glass should be avoided toprevent contamination of these analytes.200.7-3

2.01.7Silver is only slightly soluble in the presence of chloride unless there is asufficient chloride concentration to form the soluble chloride complex.Therefore, low recoveries of silver may occur in samples, fortified samplematrices and even fortified blanks if determined as a dissolved analyte or by"direct analysis" where the sample has not been processed using the totalrecoverable mixed acid digestion. For this reason it is recommended thatsamples be digested prior to the determination of silver. The total recoverablesample digestion procedure given in this method is suitable for thedetermination of silver in aqueous samples containing concentrations up to 0.1mg/L. For the analysis of wastewater samples containing higherconcentrations of silver, succeeding smaller volume, well mixed aliquotsshould be prepared until the analysis solution contains 0.1 mg/L silver. Theextraction of solid samples containing concentrations of silver 50 mg/kgshould be treated in a similar manner. Also, the extraction of tin from solidsamples should be prepared again using aliquots 1 g when determinedsample concentrations exceed 1%.1.8The total recoverable sample digestion procedure given in this method willsolubilize and hold in solution only minimal concentrations of barium in thepresence of free sulfate. For the analysis of barium in samples having varyingand unknown concentrations of sulfate, analysis should be completed as soonas possible after sample preparation.1.9The total recoverable sample digestion procedure given in this method is notsuitable for the determination of volatile organo-mercury compounds.However, if digestion is not required (turbidity 1 NTU), the combinedconcentrations of inorganic and organo-mercury in solution can be determinedby "direct analysis" pneumatic nebulization provided the sample solution isadjusted to contain the same mixed acid (HNO3 HCl) matrix as the totalrecoverable calibration standards and blank solutions.1.10Detection limits and linear ranges for the elements will vary with thewavelength selected, the spectrometer, and the matrices. Table 1 providesestimated instrument detection limits for the listed wavelengths. 7 However,actual method detection limits and linear working ranges will be dependent onthe sample matrix, instrumentation, and selected operating conditions.1.11Users of the method data should state the data-quality objectives prior toanalysis. Users of the method must document and have on file the requiredinitial demonstration performance data described in Section 9.2 prior to usingthe method for analysis.SUMMARY OF METHOD2.1An aliquot of a well mixed, homogeneous aqueous or solid sample isaccurately weighed or measured for sample processing. For total recoverableanalysis of a solid or an aqueous sample containing undissolved material,analytes are first solubilized by gentle refluxing with nitric and hydrochloric200.7-4

acids. After cooling, the sample is made up to volume, is mixed andcentrifuged or allowed to settle overnight prior to analysis. For thedetermination of dissolved analytes in a filtered aqueous sample aliquot, or forthe "direct analysis" total recoverable determination of analytes in drinkingwater where sample turbidity is 1 NTU, the sample is made ready foranalysis by the appropriate addition of nitric acid, and then diluted to apredetermined volume and mixed before analysis.2.23.0The analysis described in this method involves multielemental determinationsby ICP-AES using sequential or simultaneous instruments. The instrumentsmeasure characteristic atomic-line emission spectra by optical spectrometry.Samples are nebulized and the resulting aerosol is transported to the plasmatorch. Element specific emission spectra are produced by a radio-frequencyinductively coupled plasma. The spectra are dispersed by a gratingspectrometer, and the intensities of the line spectra are monitored at specificwavelengths by a photosensitive device. Photocurrents from thephotosensitive device are processed and controlled by a computer system. Abackground correction technique is required to compensate for variablebackground contribution to the determination of the analytes. Backgroundmust be measured adjacent to the analyte wavelength during analysis.Various interferences must be considered and addressed appropriately asdiscussed in Sections 4.0, 7.0, 9.0, 10.0, and 11.0.DEFINITIONS3.1Calibration Blank - A volume of reagent water acidified with the same acidmatrix as in the calibration standards. The calibration blank is a zero standardand is used to calibrate the ICP instrument (Section 7.10.1).3.2Calibration Standard (CAL) - A solution prepared from the dilution of stockstandard solutions. The CAL solutions are used to calibrate the instrumentresponse with respect to analyte concentration (Section 7.9).3.3Dissolved Analyte - The concentration of analyte in an aqueous sample thatwill pass through a 0.45 µm membrane filter assembly prior to sampleacidification (Section 11.1).3.4Field Reagent Blank (FRB) - An aliquot of reagent water or other blank matrixthat is placed in a sample container in the laboratory and treated as a samplein all respects, including shipment to the sampling site, exposure to thesampling site conditions, storage, preservation, and all analytical procedures.The purpose of the FRB is to determine if method analytes or otherinterferences are present in the field environment (Section 8.5).3.5Instrument Detection Limit (IDL) - The concentration equivalent to theanalyte signal which is equal to three times the standard deviation of a seriesof 10 replicate measurements of the calibration blank signal at the samewavelength (Table 1.).200.7-5

The LFB isanalyzed exactly like a sample, and its purpose is to determine whether themethodology is in control and whether the laboratory is capable of makingaccurate and precise measurements (Sections 7.10.3 and 9.3.2).3.10Laboratory Fortified Sample Matrix (LFM) - An aliquot of an environmentalsample to which known quantities of the method analytes are added in thelaboratory. The LFM is analyzed exactly like a sample, and its purpose is todetermine whether the sample matrix contributes bias to the analytical results.The background concentrations of the analytes in the sample matrix must bedetermined in a separate aliquot and the measured values in the LFMcorrected for background concentrations (Section 9.4).3.11Laboratory Reagent Blank (LRB) - An aliquot of reagent water or other blankmatrices that are treated exactly as a sample including exposure to allglassware, equipment, solvents, reagents, and internal standards that are usedwith other samples. The LRB is used to determine if method analytes or otherinterferences are present in the laboratory environment, reagents, or apparatus(Sections 7.10.2 and 9.3.1).3.12Linear Dynamic Range (LDR) - The concentration range over which theinstrument response to an analyte is linear (Section 9.2.2).3.13Method Detection Limit (MDL) - The minimum concentration of an analytethat can be identified, measured, and reported with 99% confidence that theanalyte concentration is greater than zero (Section 9.2.4 and Table 4.).3.14Plasma Solution - A solution that is used to determine the optimum heightabove the work coil for viewing the plasma (Sections 7.15 and 10.2.3).200.7-6

It is used to check either laboratoryor instrument performance (Sections 7.12 and 9.2.3).3.16Solid Sample - For the purpose of this method, a sample taken from materialclassified as either soil, sediment or sludge.3.17Spectral Interference Check (SIC) Solution - A solution of selected methodanalytes of higher concentrations which is used to evaluate the proceduralroutine for correcting known interelement spectral interferences with respect toa defined set of method criteria (Sections 7.13, 7.14 and 9.3.5).3.18Standard Addition - The addition of a known amount of analyte to the samplein order to determine the relative response of the detector to an analyte withinthe sample matrix. The relative response is then used to assess either anoperative matrix effect or the sample analyte concentration (Sections 9.5.1 and11.5).3.19Stock Standard Solution - A concentrated solution containing one or moremethod analytes prepared in the laboratory using assayed reference materialsor purchased from a reputable commercial source (Section 7.8).3.20Total Recoverable Analyte - The concentration of analyte determined either by"direct analysis" of an unfiltered acid preserved drinking water sample withturbidity of 1 NTU (Section 11.2.1), or by analysis of the solution extract of asolid sample or an unfiltered aqueous sample following digestion by refluxingwith hot dilute mineral acid(s) as specified in the method (Sections 11.2 and11.3).3.21Water Sample - For the purpose of this method, a sample taken from one ofthe following sources: drinking, surface, ground, storm runoff, industrial ordomestic wastewater.INTERFERENCES4.1Spectral interferences are caused by background emission from continuous orrecombination phenomena, stray light from the line emission of highconcentration elements, overlap of a spectral line from another element, orunresolved overlap of molecular band spectra.4.1.1Background emission and stray light can usually be compensated for bysubtracting the background emission determined by measurement(s)adjacent to the analyte wavelength peak. Spectral scans of samples orsingle element solutions in the analyte regions may indicate not onlywhen alternate wavelengths are desirable because of severe spectralinterference, but also will show whether the most appropriate estimate200.7-7

of the background emission is provided by an interpolation frommeasurements on both sides of the wavelength peak or by themeasured emission on one side or the other. The location(s) selectedfor the measurement of background intensity will be determined by thecomplexity of the spectrum adjacent to the wavelength peak. Thelocation(s) used for routine measurement must be free of off-linespectral interference (interelement or molecular) or adequately correctedto reflect the same change in background intensity as occurs at thewavelength peak.4.1.2Spectral overlaps may be avoided by using an alternate wavelength orcan be compensated for by equations that correct for interelementcontributions, which involves measuring the interfering elements.Some potential on-line spectral interferences observed for therecommended wavelengths are given in Table 2. When operative anduncorrected, these interferences will produce false-positivedeterminations and be reported as analyte concentrations. Theinterferences listed are only those that occur between method analytes.Only interferences of a direct overlap nature that were observed with asingle instrument having a working resolution of 0.035 nm are listed.More extensive information on interferant effects at variouswavelengths and resolutions is available in Boumans' Tables.8 Usersmay apply interelement correction factors determined on theirinstruments within tested concentration ranges to compensate (off-lineor on-line) for the effects of interfering elements.4.1.3When interelement corrections are applied, there is a need to verifytheir accuracy by analyzing spectral interference check solutions asdescribed in Section 7.13. Interelement corrections will vary for thesame emission line among instruments because of differences inresolution, as determined by the grating plus the entrance and exit slitwidths, and by the order of dispersion. Interelement corrections willalso vary depending upon the choice of background correction points.Selecting a background correction point where an interfering emissionline may appear should be avoided when practical. Interelementcorrections that constitute a major portion of an emission signal maynot yield accurate data. Users should not forget that some samplesmay contain uncommon elements that could contribute spectralinterferences.7,84.1.4The interference effects must be evaluated for each individualinstrument whether configured as a sequential or simultaneousinstrument. For each instrument, intensities will vary not only withoptical resolution but also with operating conditions (such as power,viewing height and argon flow rate). When using the recommendedwavelengths given in Table 1, the analyst is required to determine anddocument for each wavelength the effect from the known interferencesgiven in Table 2, and to utilize a computer routine for their automatic200.7-8

correction on all analyses. To determine the appropriate location foroff-line background correction, the user must scan the area on eitherside adjacent to the wavelength and record the apparent emissionintensity from all other method analytes. This spectral informationmust be documented and kept on file. The location selected forbackground correction must be either free of off-line interelementspectral interference or a computer routine must be used for theirautomatic correction on all determinations. If a wavelength other thanthe recommended wavelength is used, the user must determine anddocument both the on-line and off-line spectral interference effect fromall method analytes and provide for their automatic correction on allanalyses. Tests to determine the spectral interference must be doneusing analyte concentrations that will adequately describe theinterference. Normally, 100 mg/L single element solutions aresufficient, however, for analytes such as iron that may be found at highconcentration a more appropriate test would be to use a concentrationnear the upper LDR limit. See Section 10.4 for required spectralinterference test criteria.4.1.54.2When interelement corrections are not used, either on-going SICsolutions (Section 7.14) must be analyzed to verify the absence ofinterelement spectral interference or a computer software routine mustbe employed for comparing the determinative data to limits files fornotifying the analyst when an interfering element is detected in thesample at a concentration that will produce either an apparent falsepositive concentration, greater than the analyte IDL, or false negativeanalyte concentration, less than the 99% lower control limit of thecalibration blank. When the interference accounts for 10% or more ofthe analyte concentr
