Scope: This International Standard specifies two methods for the determination of chromium in water by atomic absorption spectrometry. The two methods are covered in separate clauses as follows: — Clause 3: Determination of chromium by flame atomic absorption spectrometry; — Clause 4: Determination of chromium by electrothermal atomization atomic absorption spectrometry. Clause 3 is applicable to the analysis of water and waste water when the concentration range is between 0,5 mg/l and 20 mg/l of chromium. When the concentration is below 0,5 mg/l, the determination can be carried out after carefully evaporating an acidified sample to small volume, taking care to avoid the formation of a precipitate. NOTE The use of evaporation will increase the effect of interfering substances and therefore for concentrations below 0,1 mg/l the method in clause 4 is given. Clause 4 is applicable to the analysis of water and waste water when the concentration range is between 5 μg/l and 100μg/l of chromium by injecting a sample volume of 20 μl It is applicable to the determination of higher concentrations by using a smaller sample volume.
