2. Scope of application and non-applicability
- Applicable to the determination of aluminum, silicon, vanadium, iron, nickel, sodium, calcium, zinc, and phosphorus content in residual fuel oils (Chapter 1).
- The determination range for each element is given in Table 1 (mass fraction, mg/kg):
- Al: 5~150
- Si: 10~250
- V: 1~400
- Ni: 1~100
- Fe: 2~60

- There is a certain correlation between the aluminum and silicon contents in residual fuel oils, and the catalyst powder content can be estimated from the aluminum or silicon content or from the contents of both elements.
- Non-applicable scope: not provided in the available source.
3. Method principle
A test portion of known mass is heated, ignited, and burned to obtain a carbonaceous residue; the residue is burned in a muffle furnace to remove residual carbon and obtain ash. The ash is fused with a lithium tetraborate-lithium fluoride flux, and the molten mixture is then dissolved in a tartaric acid-hydrochloric acid mixed solution, and finally diluted with water to a certain volume. The resulting aqueous solution is measured with an inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer. By comparing the emission intensity of the resonance line of the element to be determined in the sample test solution with that in the standard solution, the concentration of each element to be determined is obtained, and the content of each element in the sample is then calculated (Chapter 3).

6. Recommended operating conditions
- 7.5.1 General: operate the ICP emission spectrometer according to the instrument manual, and set the instrument operating parameters. Because different instruments differ in design, ICP excitation source and selected analytical wavelengths, it is rather difficult to specify in detail the required operating conditions; the wavelengths in Table 2 are for the user's reference only, and the user may investigate and select other suitable wavelengths according to the instrument used and the sample situation.
- Table 2 Element wavelengths (nm):
- Al: recommended 396.15; others 167.01, 394.40 (the source text has source-text extraction as 393.36/422.67, requires confirmation against the source standard (source-text extraction))
- Si: recommended 251.61; others 288.15
- Na: recommended 589.59; others 588.99
- V: recommended 292.40; others 209.88/292.46/309.31/311.07
- Ni: recommended 231.60; others 221.68/232.00
- Fe: recommended 259.94; others 213.86
- Ca: recommended 317.93; others 214.91
- Zn: recommended 213.61/178.22 (the correspondence between the Zn row and the P row in Table 2 of the source text requires confirmation against the source standard (source-text extraction))
- P: recommended 213.61/178.22 (the correspondence between the Zn row and the P row in Table 2 of the source text requires confirmation against the source standard (source-text extraction))
- 7.5.2 Peristaltic pump: if a peristaltic pump is used, check the pump tubing before starting up each day to see whether it needs replacement; verify the solution aspiration rate and adjust it to an appropriate value.
- 7.5.3 ICP excitation source: before analysis, the ICP excitation source should be stabilized for more than 30 min; during the warm-up period, introduce distilled water or deionized water into the plasma torch (some manufacturers may recommend a longer warm-up time).
- 7.5.4 Element spectra: under normal instrument operating conditions, determine the spectra of the elements to be measured as required.
- 7.5.5 Operating parameters: in order to determine the required elements, appropriate operating parameters need to be set for the instrument, mainly including: element, wavelength, background correction point, internal standard element correction point, integration time and three consecutive replicate integrations.
- 7.5.6 Calibration curve: before testing each batch of samples, establish a five-point working curve using the blank solution and standard working solutions. When using this test method for the first time, the linearity of the instrument needs to be checked using the blank solution and standard working solutions; if the instrument is linear over the entire working curve range, two-point calibration may be used (blank and highest concentration); or three-point calibration may be used (blank, middle concentration and highest concentration); if the linearity is poor, multi-point calibration may be used.
- 7.5.7 Analysis of the solution to be tested: analyze the solution to be tested under the same conditions as the standard solutions (such as the same integration time, background correction, plasma conditions, etc.); after each sample analysis, spray distilled water or deionized water to rinse the torch for at least 10 s. If the concentration of some elements in the sample solution exceeds the mass concentration range of the standard calibration solutions, it needs to be diluted with the blank solution (7.3) so that the concentration of the sample solution is within the mass concentration range of the standard calibration solutions. After every 5 samples analyzed, calibration must be performed once with a standard calibration solution (any one); if the mass concentration of a certain element is found to exceed the known value by 5%, necessary adjustments must be made to the instrument, and then recalibration must be performed.
7. Sampling and sample preparation
- 6.1 Unless otherwise specified, all laboratory samples shall be collected according to the GB/T 4756 or GB/T 27867 method.
- 6.2 Thoroughly mix the laboratory sample uniformly in the original container before taking the test portion. Mixing method: place the sample container in an oven (4.6) at a temperature of 50 ℃~60 ℃ and heat until the sample is completely liquefied and reaches a uniform viscosity; insert the rod of the stirrer (4.5) into the sample container, with the insertion depth such that the rod head is about 5 mm from the bottom of the container, and stir the sample for about 5 min. Note: if the sample is not homogenized according to this procedure, the results obtained will be invalid.
- 7.1 Sample amount: weigh 20 g–50 g of the thoroughly mixed sample (6.2) as the test portion, so as to obtain an ash content of preferably 5 mg–50 mg; the sample amount depends on the ash content. If the content of any of the elements to be determined exceeds the concentration range of the working curve, the test solution should be diluted and the content of that element re-determined; volumetric flasks (4.9) and pipettes (4.10 or 4.11) may be selected according to the dilution factor.
- 7.2 Preparation of the sample solution:
- 7.2.1 After the laboratory sample is thoroughly mixed, immediately transfer the test portion into a weighed platinum crucible (4.3), then weigh the total weight of the crucible and test portion, to the nearest 0.1 g, to obtain the mass of the test portion to be tested.
- 7.2.2 If the sulfur mass fraction in the sample is lower than 0.3%, add 0.3 g of the ashing aid sulfur (5.3) to the platinum crucible, and sprinkle the sulfur as evenly as possible over the upper part of the test portion. If only aluminum, silicon and iron are to be determined, or if it is known that the ashing aid has little effect on the sample blank, the 7.5 step may be carried out directly; if the effect of the ashing aid on the blank value is unclear, or if vanadium, nickel, sodium, calcium, zinc and phosphorus are to be determined, then the ashing aid must be tested as a blank sample.
- 7.2.3 Place the platinum crucible containing the sample on an electric furnace and heat slowly until the test portion ignites; maintain the heating temperature so that all combustible components in the test portion are burned off, leaving only residual carbon and ash. Note: if the test portion contains a large amount of water, partial loss of the sample may occur during carbonization due to bubbling. If bubbling occurs, the test portion should be discarded, a new test portion taken, and 1 mL~2 mL of isopropanol (5.4) added to the new test portion before heating again; if the bubbling still does not disappear, add 10 mL of toluene-isopropanol mixture (5.6) to the test portion and mix uniformly, then place some strips of ashless filter paper (4.14) in the mixture and heat slowly. Note: when the paper strips begin to burn, most of the water has already been removed.
- 7.2.4 Place the carbonized platinum crucible into a muffle furnace (4.7) at 525 ℃±25 ℃, ensuring that the ash in the crucible is not contaminated by refractory materials from the inner wall of the muffle furnace, because such contamination will affect the determination result of silicon; heat at constant temperature until the carbon is burned off, leaving only ash. Note: this step may take overnight.
- 7.2.5 Remove the platinum crucible and cool to room temperature, add 0.4 g of flux (5.12) and mix with the ash; then place the platinum crucible into a muffle furnace preheated to 925 ℃±25 ℃ for 5 min; remove it, ensure that the flux and ash have fully contacted, then place the platinum crucible into the muffle furnace and heat at 925 ℃±25 ℃ for 10 min.
- 7.2.6 Take out the platinum crucible; after the melt has cooled to room temperature, add 50 mL tartaric acid-hydrochloric acid mixed solution (5.14), place the platinum crucible on a hot plate (4.8), and heat slowly while ensuring it does not boil until the melt is completely dissolved. Note 1: Excessive evaporation of the solution may produce a sparingly soluble silicon precipitate. Note 2: To completely dissolve the melt, the heating time needs to be extended; a magnetic stirrer or shaking may be used to accelerate the dissolution process.
- 7.2.7 After the solution has cooled, transfer it to a 100 mL volumetric flask (4.9), rinse the platinum crucible several times with deionized water to ensure the entire sample is transferred, then dilute to the mark with water, and transfer the made-up solution to a 100 mL plastic bottle (4.15). Note: Because the dilute acid solution contains tetrafluoroboric acid (from the flux), the solution needs to be transferred to a plastic bottle; however, storage tests show that within one week the solution has no corrosive effect on glassware, and the mass concentration of free fluoride ions contained in the solution is less than 5 mg/L.
- 7.3 Preparation of the blank solution: In a 100 mL volumetric flask, add 0.4 g flux (5.12) and 50 mL tartaric acid-hydrochloric acid mixed solution (5.14), dilute to 100 mL with water, mix well, and immediately transfer to a 100 mL plastic bottle (4.15).
- 7.4 Preparation of standard calibration solutions:
- 7.4.1 Standard calibration solutions for aluminum, silicon, vanadium, nickel, iron, sodium, calcium, zinc, and phosphorus: Take 25 mL standard solutions with mass concentration 1000 mg/L (5.17.1, 5.17.3, 5.17.5, 5.17.7, 5.17.9, 5.17.11, 5.17.13, 5.17.15, and 5.17.17) into a 100 mL volumetric flask, dilute to the mark with water, and obtain a standard solution with mass concentration 250 mg/L. Then take 36 clean 100 mL volumetric flasks, respectively add 0.4 g flux (5.12) and 50 mL tartaric acid-hydrochloric acid mixed solution (5.14); to 4 of these volumetric flasks respectively add 2 mL, 4 mL, 10 mL, and 20 mL aluminum standard solution with mass concentration 250 mg/L, and dilute to the mark with water to obtain four aluminum standard calibration solutions, with mass concentrations respectively 5 mg/L, 10 mg/L, 25 mg/L, and 50 mg/L; to another 4 volumetric flasks respectively add 2 mL, 4 mL, 10 mL, and 20 mL silicon standard solution with mass concentration 250 mg/L, and dilute to the mark with water to obtain four silicon standard calibration solutions. Using the same method, obtain standard calibration solutions for the other elements (vanadium, nickel, iron, sodium, calcium, zinc, and phosphorus). Note: The mass concentrations of the series of standard solutions for each element (aluminum, silicon, vanadium, nickel, iron, sodium, calcium, zinc, and phosphorus, 9 in total) all include 5 mg/L, 10 mg/L, 25 mg/L, and 50 mg/L.
- 7.4.2 Storage: Transfer all standard calibration solutions to 100 mL plastic bottles (4.15) for storage. When aluminum, silicon, vanadium, nickel, iron, sodium, calcium, zinc, and phosphorus elements are determined simultaneously, the standard calibration solutions for each element from 5 mg/L to 50 mg/L may be used in combination, provided that it is ensured that there is no mismatch of reagents used among the standard solutions prepared in 5.17.1~5.17.18, or that other elements within a certain concentration range can cause only blank-level interference with the element being determined.
8. Analysis steps
- See 7.2 preparation of the sample solution, 7.3 preparation of the blank solution, 7.4 preparation of standard calibration solutions, 7.5 spectrometer operating conditions.
- 7.5.7 Analysis of the solution to be tested: Analyze the solution to be tested under the same conditions as the standard solutions; after each sample analysis, spray-rinse the torch tube with distilled water or deionized water for at least 10 s; if the concentration exceeds the range of the standard calibration solutions, dilute with blank solution (7.3); after every 5 samples analyzed, calibrate once with a standard calibration solution (any one); if the mass concentration of a certain element exceeds 5% of the known value, necessary adjustments to the instrument are required, and then recalibrate.
9. Qualitative and quantitative determination and calculation formula
- Use formula (1) to calculate the content E (mg/kg) of various elements (aluminum, silicon, vanadium, nickel, iron, sodium, calcium, zinc, and phosphorus) in the sample:

| Question | Key Answer Points |
|---|---|
| Which elements does this standard measure? | Aluminum, silicon, vanadium, nickel, iron, sodium, calcium, zinc, and phosphorus, a total of 9 kinds (Chapter 1). |
| What samples are applicable? | Residual fuel oils (Chapter 1). |
| What are the determination ranges for each element? | See Table 1: Al 5–150, Si 10–250, V 1–400, Ni 1–100, Fe 2–60, Na 1–100, Ca 3–100, Zn 1–70, P 1~60 mg/kg. |
| When sulfur content is greater than 0.3%, is an ashing aid added? | No sulfur needs to be added as an ashing aid (Chapter 1). |
| What is the method principle? | Combustion yields a carbonaceous residue, a muffle furnace burns off residual carbon to obtain ash, a flux melts it, tartaric acid-hydrochloric acid dissolves it, and ICP emission spectrometry determines it (Chapter 3). |
| What is the flux composition? | A mixture of mass fractions 90% dilithium tetraborate and 10% lithium fluoride (5.12). |
| What is the ashing temperature? | 525 ℃±25 ℃ (7.2.4). |
| What are the melting temperature and time? | 925 ℃±25 ℃, first 5 min, then 10 min (7.2.5). |
| What is the sample amount? | 20 g–50 g, preferably to obtain 5 mg–50 mg ash (7.1). |
| What is the weighing precision? | The total weight of crucible and sample is accurate to 0.1 g (7.2.1); analytical balance sensitivity 0.2 mg (4.16). |
| What is the standard calibration solution concentration series? | 5 mg/L, 10 mg/L, 25 mg/L, 50 mg/L (7.4.1). |
| How many points on the standard curve? | A five-point working curve is established before testing each batch of samples (7.5.6). |
| What are the result units and precision? | mg/kg, accurate to 1 mg/kg (Chapter 8). |
| What is the confidence level for repeatability/reproducibility? | 95% (9.1). |
| What is the source of precision data? | Except for aluminum and silicon, other elements are statistically obtained from IP 367, while aluminum and silicon are obtained from IP 377 (9.1). |
| What does the test report include? | Reference to this standard, detailed description of the tested product, test results, test date (Chapter 10). |
| Which standards are referenced for sampling? | GB/T 4756 or GB/T 27867 (6.1). |
