Chemical analysis of particulate matter; determination of Ba, Be, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Sr, V, Zn in particulate emissions by atomic spectrometric methods
In this guideline the determination of the elements barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, nickel, lead, strontium, vanadium, and zinc in particulate emissions, for instance from waste incinerators, firing equipment, smelting-works, metal-processing industries, and cement works is described. The method described here deals with particulate samples collected by a sampling procedure using a "Filterkopfgerät". This method is described in guideline VDI 2066 part 2. It is used for determining gravimetrically the concentration of particulate matter in gaseous emissions.
