| Methods: |
Water samples were collected and filtered through a 25mm GFF glass fiber filter. Cation
samples are stored in 60 ml HDPE bottles and are preserved by acidifying to ~ pH 2 (100 ul Ultrex HCL /
60 ml sample. Anion samples are stored in 30 HDPE bottles.
Alkalinity was measured using a Gran titration (Strum and Morgan, 1984).
Cation samples are run on a Perkin Elmer atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Chemical
interference in flame AAS originates during dissociation of the analyte in the flame cell forming a
compound that volatilizes at a different rate than the standard. One method of alleviating this type of
interference is through the addition of a releasing agent or protective chelate. A releasing agent is a metal
or salt that forms a more stable compound with the interferent than the analyte. For calcium analysis the
addition of lanthanum, which acts a releasing agent and reduces interference with the calcium peak from
Al, Si, PO43-, and SO42- is required (Rains, 1984). Lanthanum Cloride (LaCL3 FW 371.38) should be added to a 1% final concentration to all samples and standards. 10% LaCL3 = 37.13 g / liter.
Lanthanum
Anions samples were run on a Dionex 2000 liquid chromatographer using fast sep column.
