NOTE 8: Each laboratory is responsible for verifying the
validity of each method within its own operation.
11.1 Non-Metal Impurities
11.1.1 See Section 8, which contains procedures for
the following tests:
Assay
Color (APHA)
Carbon Dioxide
Substances Reducing Permanganate
11.2 Anions
11.2.1 The following method has given satisfactory
results in determining anion impurities at the values
specified for each of the following anions: chloride
(Cl), phosphate (PO
4
), nitrate (NO
3
), and sulfate (SO
4
).
Alternate methods may be used as long as appropriate
studies demonstrate a recovery between 75–125% of a
known sample spike for half of the value of each
specified anion.
11.2.2 Reagents
11.2.2.1 Eluent — Prepare an eluent solution that is
2.2 mM sodium carbonate (Na
2
CO
3
) and 0.75 mM so-
dium bicarbonate (NaHCO
3
) in deionized water meet-
ing the criteria for Type E1.1 in ASTM D5127. Store
eluent under a helium gas blanket.
11.2.2.2 Regenerant — Prepare a 0.025 N sulfuric
acid (H
2
SO
4
) in deionized water meeting the criteria for
Type E1.1 in ASTM D5127.
11.2.2.3 Potassium Carbonate Solution — Prepare a
solution containing 500 mg of reagent grade potassium
carbonate (K
2
CO
3
) in 100 mL of water meeting the
criteria for Type E1.1 in ASTM D5127.
11.2.3 Sample Preparation
11.2.3.1 In a clean environment, place 200 g of sample
into a clean beaker. Add 1 mL of a 5 mg/mL potassium
carbonate solution and evaporate carefully (at 100°C) to
a volume of 0.5 mL. Dilute with water meeting the
criteria for Type E1.1 in ASTM D5127 to a final
volume of 20 mL.
11.2.4 Analysis
11.2.4.1 Using the prepared solutions and blanks,
analyze chloride, nitrate, phosphate, and sulfate by ion
chromatography. Run a reagent blank. Samples and
reagent blanks should be prepared and analyzed in
triplicate.
11.2.4.2 Columns — Precolumn should be AG4-A
(Dionex) or equivalent, and separation column should
be AS4-A (Dionex) or equivalent.
11.3 Trace Metals Analysis
11.3.1 The following method has given satisfactory
results in determining metal ion impurities at the values
specified for each of the following metals: aluminum
(Al), antimony (Sb), arsenic (As), boron (B), calcium
(Ca), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), gold (Au), iron (Fe),
lead (Pb), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), nickel
(Ni), potassium (K), sodium (Na), tin (Sn), titanium
(Ti), and zinc (Zn). Alternate methods may be used as
long as appropriate studies demonstrate a recovery
between 75–125% of a known sample spike for half of
the value of each specified element.
11.3.2 Special Reagents
11.3.2.1 Nitric Acid, Ultrapure — Use nitric acid of
low metal ion content.
11.3.2.2 2% Nitric Acid Solution — Dilute ultrapure
nitric acid with water meeting the criteria for Type E1.1
in ASTM D5127.
11.3.2.3 Water — The water used for dilution,
calibration, and standards should meet, at a minimum,
the criteria for Type E1.1 in ASTM D5127 in regard to
cation analysis.
11.3.2.4 Internal Standard Solution — Make up an
internal standard solution to a concentration of 1000
µg/mL from appropriate concentrated scandium, yttri-
um, indium, thulium, and thorium standard solutions.
11.3.3 Sample Preparation
11.3.3.1 In a clean environment, in a teflon bottle,
evaporate a 50.0 g sample at low heat until approxi-
mately 5 g of the sample remains. Cool to room temper-
ature, add 100 µL of the internal standard solution, and
dilute with 2% nitric acid to a final weight of 10.0 g.
11.3.4 Analysis
11.3.4.1 Using the prepared solutions and blanks,
calibrate the instrument and analyze calcium, iron,
sodium, and potassium by cool plasma inductively
coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and the
remaining elements by normal plasma ICP-MS.
11.3.4.2 Calculations — All data were reported
relative to an appropriate 1.0 µg/L standard and
corresponding blank solution. Internal standard
corrections were applied to the data.

14 Tier A Procedures
14.1 This section does not apply to this chemical.
15 Tier B Procedures
15.1 This section does not apply to this chemical.
16 Tier C Procedures
16.1 This section does not apply to this chemical.
17 Tier D Procedures
17.1 Standardized test methods are being developed
for all parameters at the purity levels indicated. The
Process Chemicals Committee considers a test method
to be valid if there is a documented recovery study
showing a recovery of 75–125%. Recovery is for a
known sample spike at 50% of the specified level.
