What is BS 7020-17 - Flame atomic absorption spectrometric method for the determination of lead and/or zinc contents of iron ores about?
BS 7020-17 specifies a flame atomic absorption spectrometric method for the determination of the lead and/or zinc content of iron ores.
This method is applicable to a concentration range of 0,001 to 0,5 % (m/m) of lead and 0,001 to 0,5 % (m/m) of zinc in natural iron ores, and iron ore concentrates and agglomerates including sinter products.
Who is BS 7020-17 - Flame atomic absorption spectrometric method for the determination of lead and/or zinc contents of iron ores for?
BS 7020-17 on flame atomic absorption spectrometric method for the determination of lead and/or zinc contents of iron ores is useful for:
- The mining industry
- The iron and steel industry
- Suppliers of and distributors of raw iron ore
- Manufacturers of iron and steel products
- Product development/innovation teams
- Research and testing personnel
- Quality control personnel
- Relevant compliance authorities
Why should you use BS 7020-17 - Flame atomic absorption spectrometric method for the determination of lead and/or zinc contents of iron ores?
Iron ore is primarily used in the production of iron. This iron produced is then used to make steel. Steel has multiple applications such as in automobiles, locomotives, ships, beams used in buildings, furniture, etc.
BS 7020-17 provides you guidance on carrying out the flame atomic absorption spectrometric method, which could be used for the analysis of a large number of trace metals like lead and/or zinc in a variety of samples.
BS 7020-17 also helps you with guidance on correct sample preparation, the procedure for a number of determinations, blank tests, and check tests, and also provides a flowsheet of the procedure for the acceptance of analytical values for test samples.
Compliance with BS 7020-17 enables manufacturers and suppliers of iron ores to achieve the required quality of the product by analyzing the ore in detail for any traces of other elements like lead and/or zinc.
