Samples were dried to constant weight in an oven at 105°C for 6 hr. The total mass of the dried material was determined. Duplicate samples were prepared by taking 0.1 g of the material and 3 ml of Aqua
Regia in a 10 ml centrifuge tube. The samples were digested in a water bath at 85°C for 3 hr. A total of 7 ml of ultrapure Type 1 water was then added to each sample and the samples mixed using a vortex mixer. A 1 ml aliquot of each sample was diluted 10‐fold with Type 1 water for analysis. The elemental content of each sample was then determined using a Perkin Elmer Optima 2100 DV Inductively Coupled Plasma
Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP‐OES). Standards and a blank were made up at 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 ppm concentrations with 3% HNO3 and
three replicates of each element were measured. Each sample was analyzed in triplicate and the average of the triplicate analysis taken for
each duplicate. The mean of the duplicate analyses of the individual samples was then taken to be representative of that sample. The
elemental content per kg of dried material was calculated from the raw data. |
