What is BS 7455-9 – Flame atomic absorption spectrometry about?
BS 7455-9 is a British standard and a part of the BS 7455 series that discusses the method for determination of vanadium for analysis of nickel alloys by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. Flame atomic absorption is a very common technique for detecting metals and metalloids in environmental samples.
BS 7455-9 specifies a flame atomic absorption spectrometric method for the determination of vanadium in the range of 0,05 % (m/m) to 1 % (m/m) in nickel alloys. The general requirements concerning the apparatus, sampling, dissolution of the test sample, atomic absorption measurements, calculations and test report are given in ISO 7530-1.
Who is BS 7455-9 – Flame atomic absorption spectrometry for?
BS 7455-9 on the method for determination of vanadium applies to:
- Manufacturer of atomic absorption spectroscopy
- Chemical engineer
- Quality testing personnel
Why should you use BS 7455-9 – Flame atomic absorption spectrometry?
Flame atomic absorption is a very common technique for detecting metals and metalloids in environmental samples. Vanadium compounds have been proven to be associated with various implications in the pathogenesis of some human diseases and also in maintaining normal body functions.
BS 7455-9 provides you with the principle for the method for determining vanadium. It provides a dissolution of a test portion in acid and aspiration of the test solution into a nitrous oxide-acetylene flame of an atomic absorption spectrometer. This helps you in analyzing the nickel alloys.
BS 7455-9 ensure you with the methods for the determination of vanadium for the analysis of nickel alloys by flame atomic absorption spectrometry.
