Water quality - Determination of chromium(VI) - Method using flow analysis (FIA and CFA) and spectrometric detection (ISO 23913:2006)

This International Standard specifies FIA and CFA methods for the determination of chromium(VI) in various types of water. The method applies to the following mass concentration ranges:
FIA: 20 µg/l to 200 µg/l and 200 µg/l to 2 000 µg/l for surface water, leachates and waste water.
CFA: 2 µg/l to 20 µg/l and 20 µg/l to 200 µg/l for drinking water, ground water, surface water, leachates and waste water
The range of application may be changed by varying the operating conditions. Sea water may be analysed by these methods with changes in sensitivity and after adaptation of the reagent and calibration solutions to the salinity of the samples.

Wasserbeschaffenheit - Bestimmung von Chrom(VI) - Verfahren mittels Fließanalytik (FIA und CFA) und spektrometrischer Detektion (ISO 23913:2006)

Diese Internationale Norm legt ein FIA  und ein CFA Verfahren für die Bestimmung von Chrom(VI) in verschiedenen Wasserarten fest. Das Verfahren ist anwendbar für folgende Konzentrationsbereiche:
   FIA: 20 µg/l bis 200 µg/l und 200 µg/l bis 2 000 µg/l für Oberflächenwasser, Sickerwasser und Abwasser;
   CFA: 2 µg/l bis 20 µg/l und 20 µg/l bis 200 µg/l für Trinkwasser, Grundwasser, Oberflächenwasser, Sickerwasser und Abwasser.
Der Anwendungsbereich kann durch Variation der Versuchsbedingungen geändert werden.
Meerwasser kann mit diesem Verfahren unter Änderungen in der Empfindlichkeit analysiert werden, wenn die Reagenzien und die Bezugslösungen an die Salinität der Proben angepasst werden.

Qualité de l'eau - Dosage du chrome(VI) - Méthode par analyse en flux (FIA et CFA) et détection spectrométrique (ISO 23913:2006)

L'ISO 23913:2006 spécifie deux méthodes: l'analyse avec injection en flux (FIA) et l'analyse en flux continu (CFA) pour le dosage du chrome(VI) dans divers types d'eau. Ces méthodes s'appliquent aux domaines de concentration massique suivants: pour la FIA (20 à 200 microgrammes par litre et 200 à 2 000 microgrammes par litre pour les eaux de surface, les lixiviats et les eaux résiduaires) et pour la CFA (2 à 20 microgrammes par litre et 20 à 200 microgrammes par litre pour l'eau potable, les eaux de surface, les lixiviats et les eaux résiduaires). Le domaine d'application peut varier en fonction des conditions d'utilisation. L'eau de mer peut être analysée par ces méthodes si l'on change la sensibilité et si l'on adapte les solutions de réactifs et d'étalonnage à la salinité des échantillons.

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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 23913 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 147, Water quality, Subcommittee SC 2, Physical,

Introduction
Methods using flow analysis automatic wet chemical procedures are particularly suitable for the processing of
many analytes in water, in large sample series at a high analysis frequency.
[1], [2]
Analysis can be performed by flow injection analysis (FIA) and continuous flow analysis (CFA). Both
methods share the feature of an automatic dosage of the sample into a flow system (manifold) where the
analyte in the sample reacts with the reagent solutions on its way through the manifold. The sample
preparation may be integrated in the manifold. The reaction product is measured in a flow detector (e.g. flow
photometer).
It should be investigated whether and to what extent particular problems will require the specification of
additional marginal conditions.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 23913:2006(E)

Water quality — Determination of chromium(VI) — Method
using flow analysis (FIA and CFA) and spectrometric detection
WARNING — Persons using this International Standard should be familiar with normal laboratory
practice. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with
its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to
ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions.
IMPORTANT — It is absolutely essential that tests conducted according to this International Standard
are carried out by suitably qualified staff.
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies flow injection analysis (FIA) and continuous flow analysis (CFA) methods
for the determination of chromium(VI) in various types of water. The method applies to the following mass
concentration ranges.
FIA: 20 µg/l to 200 µg/l and 200 µg/l to 2 000 µg/l for surface water, leachates and waste water.
CFA: 2 µg/l to 20 µg/l and 20 µg/l to 200 µg/l for drinking water, ground water, surface water,
leachates and waste water.
The range of application may be changed by varying the operating conditions.
Seawater may be analysed by these methods with changes in sensitivity and after adaptation of the reagent
and calibration solutions to the salinity of the samples.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced

3 Principle
Chromium(VI) reacts with 1,5-diphenylcarbazide (DPC) to form a red-violet chromium-1,5-diphenylcarbazone
complex. The absorbance of this complex is measured at 544 nm ± 10 nm (maximum absorbance at 544 nm).

4 Interferences
Reducing agents in the sample may lead to negative bias for the chromium(VI) concentration.
Nitrite does not interfere with the method under the reaction conditions.
Concentrations of sulfide exceeding 0,2 mg/l interfere with the method.
Oxidizing agents for disinfection in drinking water production like chlorine, chlorine dioxide, ozone and
hydrogen peroxide do not interfere with the method provided their mass concentration does not exceed the
concentrations given in Table 1.
Table 1 — Mass concentrations of single disinfection agents not producing significant interference
under the given measuring conditions
Concentration
Disinfectant
mg/l
Chlorine 0,6
Chlorine dioxide 0,4
Hydrogen peroxide 0,2
Ozone 0,1

Other oxidizing agents like peroxoacetic acid, or permanganate may interfere in the chromium(VI)
determination. This shall be considered in the results.
Strongly alkaline or buffered samples may cause negative bias. This effect may be tested by adding 1 part of
acid mixture (5.5.1 or 5.5.2) to 3 parts of the sample. This mixture shall have a pH of < 1. Otherwise, pretreat
the samples with acids (HCl, H SO ) until the above mentioned test leads to sufficient results.
2 4
Iron (III) ions exceeding 10 mg/l interfere with the methods. In the range of 10 mg/l to 100 mg/l, iron (III) ions
may lead to a negative bias of up to 8 %.
Coloured or turbid samples can cause a bias. To avoid bias, measure the sample again using solution 5.17
instead of solution 5.10 for feeding line “R2” in Figures A.1 to A.3. Subtract the result of this measurement y
s
from the term y in Equation (2).
5 Reagents
Use analytical grade chemicals unless otherwise specified.
5.1 Water, complying to grade 1 as defined in ISO 3696. The chromium blank value shall be checked
(see 8.3).
5.2 Sulfuric acid, ρ(H SO ) = 1,84 g/ml.
2 4
5.3 Orthophosphoric acid, ρ(H PO ) = 1,71 g/ml.

5.5 Acid mixtures.
5.5.1 Acid mixture for FIA, (R1 in Figure A.1).
Add to a 250 ml volumetric flask about 125 ml of water (5.1). Add 29 ml of sulfuric acid (5.2) and 31 ml of
orthophosphoric acid (5.3), mix and bring to volume with water (5.1).
This solution acidifies the reaction mixture passing the detector to a necessary pH of < 1.
The solution is stable for up to 1 year if stored at room temperature.
5.5.2 Acid mixture for CFA, (R1 in Figures A.2 and A.3).
Add 1 ml of surfactant solution (5.4) to 200 ml of acid mixture for FIA (5.5.1).
The solution is stable for up to 1 week if stored at room temperature.
5.6 1,5-diphenylcarbazide, C H N O.

5.7 Acetone, C H O.
3 6
5.8 1-Propanol, C H O.

5.9 Potassium dichromate, K Cr O .
2 2 7
5.10 Diphenylcarbazide solution, (R2 in Figures A.1 to A.3).
Dissolve in a 250 ml beaker 0,43 g of 1,5-diphenylcarbazide (5.6) in 9 ml of acetone (5.7) and 9 ml of
1-propanol (5.8). Add 125 ml of 1-propanol (5.8).Transfer the mixture to a 250 ml volumetric flask, and make
up to volume with water (5.1).
The solution is stable for up to 1 week if stored in a brown glass bottle at 2 °C to 6 °C.
If precipitation occurs, filter the solution.
NOTE The use of a mixture of acetone and 1-propanol permits the redissolving of precipitates of
1,5-diphenylcarbazide occurring on cooling. In the literature, several solvents (acetone, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, ethanol, in
combination with water) are proposed for preparing the diphenylcarbazide solution. These alternatives are also applicable,
provided the solutions are stable enough and contain the same concentration of 1,5-diphenylcarbazide (5.6) as given
in 5.10.
Degas carefully all reagent solutions for the FIA determinations before use, e.g. by vacuum filtration.
5.11 Carrier solution for FIA systems, (C in Figure A.1).
Use water (5.1).
Carrier and samples should have identical acidity. For unpreserved samples, this means that water should be
used as a carrier.
