Water quality — Determination of fluoride using flow analysis (FIA and CFA) — Part 1: Method using flow injection analysis (FIA) and spectrometric detection after off-line distillation

ISO/TS 17951-1:2016 specifies a method for the determination of fluoride in waters, waste waters and effluents by flow injection analysis (FIA). Any insoluble or complexed fluoride is converted to fluoride ion by a manual distillation procedure from sulfuric/phosphoric acid. Fluoride ion in the distillate is measured using flow analysis with lanthanum alizarin complexone and spectrometric detection. This method is applicable to industrial waste waters, effluents, surface waters, ground waters, leachates. It is not recommended for drinking waters where a distillation step is not required. In ISO/TS 17951-1:2016, two working ranges are described: - working range I: 0,1 mg/l to 1 mg/l; - working range II: 1 mg/l to 10 mg/l. The specification of the calibration solutions are to be adapted accordingly.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Introduction
Fluorine compounds in waters and effluents exist in various chemical forms, such as fluoride ion,
complexes of iron, aluminium, boron and etc., as well as insoluble forms, such as calcium and magnesium
fluorides. Excess fluoride can cause bone damage and fluorosis. The manual steam distillation method
can be troublesome because of its complexity. It is necessary to ensure conversion of any insoluble
fluorides into soluble fluoride for measurement.
Flow analysis with colourimetric detection is a rapid cost-effective method of determining of soluble
(dissolved) fluoride in the method distillate.
This part of ISO 17951 describes FIA methods for flow analysis of fluoride.

1 Scope
This part of ISO 17951 specifies a method for the determination of fluoride in waters, waste waters and
effluents by flow injection analysis (FIA). Any insoluble or complexed fluoride is converted to fluoride
ion by a manual distillation procedure from sulfuric/phosphoric acid. Fluoride ion in the distillate is
measured using flow analysis with lanthanum alizarin complexone and spectrometric detection. This
method is applicable to industrial waste waters, effluents, surface waters, ground waters, leachates.
It is not recommended for drinking waters where a distillation step is not required. In this part of
ISO 17951, two working ranges are described:
— working range I: 0,1 mg/l to 1 mg/l;
— working range II: 1 mg/l to 10 mg/l.
The specification of the calibration solutions are to be adapted accordingly.

by means of injection valve and is mixed with a continuously streaming flow of lanthanum alizarin
complexone solution. The formed blue colour is measured by spectrometric detection around 620 nm.
Without the distillation, fluoride ion in water samples is determined.
4 Interferences
Without distillation, lanthanum alizarin complexone spectrometric method suffers from the
interferences by aluminium, cadmium, cobalt, iron, nickel, beryllium, lead, etc. However, these
interferences are removed by the distillation.
