Plant biostimulants. Determination of specific elements – Digestion by aqua regia for subsequent determination of elements
Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
BSI | 2022 | 14 |
This document specifies the method for the digestion of different plant biostimulants with aqua regia to enable a subsequent determination of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), mercury (Hg), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn). The method can be also applied for determination of other elements. The method is applicable for all solid and/or liquid plant biostimulants. This document is also applicable to the blends of fertilizing products where plant biostimulants are the main part of the blend. Otherwise, the Technical Specification for the main part of the blend applies. The extracts are suitable for analysis using CEN/TS 17701-2 (ICP-AES) and CEN/TS 17701-3 (Hg analysis). NOTE Alternatively, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) can be used for the measurement if the user proves that the method gives the same results.

8 | 6 Reagents 6.1 Water with a specific conductivity not higher than 0,2 mS/m at 25 °C, free from the elements to be determined. 6.2 Hydrochloric acid 37 %, c(HCl) ≈ 12 mol/l, ρ ≈ 1,18 g/ml. 6.3 Nitric acid 65 %, c(HNO3) ≈ 14,3 mol/l, ρ ≈ 1,4 g/ml. 6.4 Antifoaming agent, e.g. n-dodecane (C12H26) or octanol (C8H18O) are suitable. 7 Apparatus 7.1 Common laboratory glassware. All glassware and plastic ware shall be adequately cleaned and stored to avoid any contamination. 7.2 Apparatus for thermal heating digestion, temperature controlled with reaction vessel and reflux condenser. The capacity of the reaction vessel should be at least 5 times of the volume of the aqua regia used. 7.3 Filter paper, ash free and of recognized and tested quality. 7.4 Analytical balance capable of weighing to an accuracy of 1 mg or better. 8 Procedure 8.1 Sample digestion |
