Procedures
1st Step: Preparation of the 4 Standard Iron Solutions and a Blank Solution
1. Pipette a fresh 2.50, 1.25, 0.50, 0.25 and 0.00 mL aliquot of 40 ppm standard Fe solution into a 25.00-mL volumetric flask. Then, add 0.50 mL of hydroquinone solution and 0.75 mL of o-phenanthroline solution using a graduated pipette into each volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark with sodium acetate buffer and mix well.
2. Allow the standard solutions and blank solution to stand at least 10 minutes before measuring their absorbance.
2nd Step: Sample Preparation (in Hood)
1. Soil samples (5.0 g approx.) were oven-dried at 105-110 C until getting constant weight.
2. Weigh 1.0 g dried soil sample with a proper electronic balance into a 250-ml beaker.
3. Add 0.5 ml of DI water into a sample beaker and slurry.
4. Add 10 ml of concentrated HNO3 and a few boiling chips into the slurry samples and cover with a watch glass.
5. Heat gently the sample at 100 C on a hot plate for 2 hours a fume hood, and then allow the solution cool down for 15 min.
6. Add (drop-wise) 3 ml of 30% H2O2 into a boiled sample and continusly heat for another hour with intermittent stirring by gentle swirling of the beaker flux.
7. Filter the digested sample directly into a 25-mL volumetric flask. Wash the beaker and filter several times with small portions of water to complete a quantitative transfer. Allow the solution to be cool. Then dilute to the mark and mix well.
8. Keep the prepared sample solution for directly analysis.
9. Prepare a blank solution in the same manner.
3rd Step: Complex Formation of Iron
1. Pipette 20.00 mL of the digested sample solution prepared from Step 2nd into a 25-ml volumetric flask. Then add 0.50 mL of hydroquinone solution and 0.75 mL of o-phenanthroline solution using a graduated pipette. Dilute to the mark with sodium acetate buffer and mix well.
***Note: The color intensity of this solution should be similar to that of the standard.
2. Allow the solution to stand for at least 10 min.
4rd Step: Analysis of Iron
1. Obtain the absorption spectrum of the highest concentration of the iron solution by measuring the absorbance from 400 to 700 nm. Select the wavelength of the absorption maximum (max).
2. Collect the absorbance of the blank, which will automatically be subtracted from the absorbance of the Fe standard. Then measure the absorbance of each solution at the max (3 replicates). Since the color is stable, all solutions may be prepared in the same batch and measured the absorbance sequentially.
3. Make a calibration graph of Absorbance versus ppm of Fe in the standard. Be sure to calculate the Fe mass based on the mass of the standard that was weighed out.
• Find the slope and intercept by the method of least squares. .
• Find the number of milligrams of Fe in a gram soil sample.
***Note: do not plot your unknown on the calibration curve.
