WORKING PROCEDURE
1. Devices and Substances
- Flame Photometer device
- Measuring flask 1 mL and 5 mL
- Burette 50 mL
- Measuring pipette
- Film bottle
- Na standard solution 1000 ppm
- K standard solution 1000 ppm
- Aquadest.
2. Working Steps
- dilute K standard solution 1000 ppm and Na into 50 ppm, each 100 mL
- Make a K standard 0, 1, 2, 4, 7 and 10 ppm with dilution the 50 ppm
standard solution in measuring flask 50 mL. Do the same for Na standard.
- Ask your sample solution using measuring flask 50 mL, mark it and dilute
with aquadest
- Connect the flame photometer device to LPG gas, with electricity, and
turn on the compressor
- Turn on the power, press ignitor button until got flame in the burner. Set
the flame in the burner to be blue shape by setting fuel button.
- Place monochromator at Potassium filter, prepare the standard solution.
- Aspirated the Blanco solution, then set Blanc button until the indicator
shown scale at 00.
- Replace with the higher standard solution , set sensitivity (fine button)
until the indicator shown scale at 100
- Wash capillar with aquadest, and measure the Blanco. Indicator must
shown scale at 00.
- Measure all of standard solution, start from the lowest concentration.
- Do the same with sample solution and natural water also plant water that
has been asked before.
- For plant water, dilute it 50 times with aquadest. Do the same with river
water.
