Document #40821214

Flow Solution™ FS 3700 Automated Chemistry Analyzer


Available Cyanide by Automated Ligand Exchange
ASTM D 6888, Flow Injection Analysis (FIA)
Cartridge Part Number 330091CT

Scope and Application


This method is used for determining available cyanide in water and wastewater by automated ligand exchange, flow
injection analysis, and amperometric detection according to ASTM Method D 6888-09 (Reference 2). This method is
approved for use in the USEPA’s data gathering and monitoring programs associated with the Clean Water Act.

Cyanide ion (CN–), hydrogen cyanide in water (HCN(aq)), and cyano-complexes of zinc, copper, cadmium, mercury, nickel,
and silver can be determined by this method. The presence of polysulfides and colloidal material may prove intractable for
application of this method.

Method Performance
Range 5.0 µg/L–0.5 mg/L
Rate 30 samples/hour
Precision at 50 µg/L <2% RSD
Method Detection Limit (MDL) 1.0 µg/L

The range may be extended to analyze other concentrations by changing the size of the sample loop. The quality of the
analysis is assured through reproducible calibration and testing of the Flow Injection Analysis (FIA) system.

A general flow diagram of the Flow Injection Analysis (FIA) system is shown below (see Figure 1 for a detailed flow
diagram).

Summary of ASTM D 6888


ASMT D 6888 summarizes the method and interferences as follows below (Reference 6).

Method

l Prior to analysis, treat the sample to remove potential interferences. Ligand exchange reagents form
thermodynamically stable complexes with the transition metal ions, releasing the cyanide ion from the cyano-complex-
es. Addition of acid converts the cyanide ion to hydrogen cyanide gas (HCN), which passes under a gas diffusion mem-
brane. The hydrogen cyanide gas diffuses through the membrane into an alkaline receiving solution where it converts
back to cyanide ion. The cyanide ion is monitored amperometrically with a silver working electrode, silver/silver chloride
reference electrode, and platinum/stainless steel counter electrode at an applied potential of zero volt. The current gen-
erated is proportional to the cyanide concentration present in the original sample.

Interferences

l Method interferences can be caused by contaminants in the reagents, reagent water, and glassware, which may bias
the results. Take care to keep all such items free of contaminants.

l Sulfide, at concentrations greater than 50 ppm, is a positive interferant in this method (Reference 11). When sulfide is
acidified, it forms hydrogen sulfide, which passes through the gas diffusion membrane and produces a signal at the
silver electrode. In addition, sulfide ion reacts with cyanide ion in solution to reduce its concentration over time.

l Treat samples containing water soluble aldehydes, such as formaldehyde or acetaldehyde, by adding ethylenediamine
solution, at the time of sampling.

l Remove oxidizing agents that decompose cyanides by adding ascorbic acid if analysis is to be within 24 hours,
otherwise use sodium arsenite.

Part Number 330098 2
Available Cyanide by ASTM D 6888
l High concentrations of carbonate can result in a negative response in the amperometric detector when carbon dioxide
diffuses across the gas diffusion membrane into the alkaline receiving solution, reducing its pH. Treat effluents from
high-carbonate containing wastes, such as coal gasification waste and atmospheric emission scrub water, with
hydrated lime to stabilize the sample (Reference 11).

l Tests conducted on samples containing large amounts of colloids indicate rapid cyanide losses. Filter turbid or colloidal
samples.

l Nitrate and nitrite do not interfere in this method.

l Thiocyanate, sulfite, and thiosulfate do not interfere with this method.

Safety

WARNING: Cyanide solutions may produce toxic hydrogen cyanide gas when acidified. For these reasons, any method
involving cyanide in a sample or reagent should only be performed by properly trained personnel wearing adequate
personal protective equipment.

WARNING: Two separate waste bottles should be used: one clearly marked “Cyanide Waste” and another marked “Acid
Waste”. The waste line from the amperometric flow cell must go to the Cyanide Waste bottle. The waste line from the gas
diffusion module must go to the Acid Waste bottle.

WARNING: Cyanide ion, hydrocyanic acid, all cyanide salts, and most metal-cyanide complexes are extremely danger-
ous. As a contact poison, cyanide does not need to be ingested to produce toxicity. Also, cyanide solutions produce fatally
toxic hydrogen cyanide gas when acidified. For these reasons, any method involving cyanide in a sample or reagent
should only be performed by properly trained personnel wearing adequate personal protective equipment.

1. The toxicity or carcinogenicity of each compound or reagent used in this method has not been fully established. Each
chemical should be treated as a potential health hazard. Exposure to these chemicals should be reduced to the
lowest possible level.

2. For reference purposes, a file of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for each chemical used in this method should
be available to all personnel involved in this chemical analysis. The preparation of a formal safety plan is also
advisable.

3. Chemicals used in this method may be highly toxic or hazardous and should be handled with extreme caution at all
times. Consult the appropriate MSDS before handling.

4. Unknown samples may be potentially hazardous and should be handled with extreme caution at all times.

5. Proper personal protective equipment (PPE) should be used when handling or working in the presence of chemicals.

6. This method does not address all safety issues associated with its use. The laboratory is responsible for maintaining a
safe work environment and a current awareness file of OSHA regulations regarding the safe handling of the chemicals
specified in this method.

Sample Handling and Preservation

1. Collect samples in amber glass bottles with minimal headspace that have been thoroughly cleaned and rinsed with
reagent water.

2. Ensure the volume of sample collected is sufficient to obtain a representative sample, analyze replicates, and
minimize waste disposal. 40 mL amber VOA vials have been found sufficient.

3. Add NaOH solution to pH 11 and cool samples to 2-6 °C.

4. Do not add NaOH if the cyanide concentration would change as a result of the addition.

5. Treat samples containing sulfide ion.
a. Test samples with lead acetate test paper to determine the presence or absence of sulfide ion. Note that the lead
acetate test paper can be unreliable and is typically not usable for sulfide concentrations below approximately
50 ppm.
i. If sulfide is detected by the lead acetate test strip (sulfide > 50 ppm), dilute sample so that sulfide is below
amount detected by test strips. Record dilution factor on chain of custody/ sample bottle analyze samples
within 24 hours.
ii. Lead acetate test paper should be tested for minimum level of sulfide detection by spiking reagent water
aliquots with decreasing levels of sulfide. The spiked samples are tested with lead acetate test paper
moistened with acetate buffer. Test each new batch of test paper or acetate buffer to determine the lowest
level of sulfide ion detection prior to use.
b. If the sample contains particulate matter that would be removed with filtration, filter the sample. Available CN
species are soluble in water, so particulate matter need not be analyzed.

6. Treat samples containing or suspected to contain formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, or other water-soluble aldehydes with
20 mL of 3.5% ethylenediamine solution per liter of sample.

NOTE: Samples that have been disinfected by UV irradiation are likely to contain aldehydes.

7. Oxidizing agents such as chlorine can destroy most of the cyanide during storage and manipulation. Destroy the
oxidizing agent at the time of sample collection so the test result reflects an accurate cyanide concentration in the
source at the time of collection. Treat samples containing chlorine, hypochlorite, or sulfite with 0.1 g sodium arsenite
per 100 mL sample. Sodium thiosulfate may be used in place of sodium arsenite.
a. Using a plastic pipette, place a drop of sample on a strip of potassium iodide-starch test paper.
b. If observing a bluish discoloration on the paper, add a few crystals of sodium arsenite to the sample with a
spatula. Continue to add crystals and testing a drop of sample on the test paper until color is no longer produced
on the test paper.

NOTE: Do not add an excess of reducing agent.

8. High concentrations of carbonate can result in a negative response in the amperometric detector when carbon dioxide
diffuses across the membrane into the alkaline acceptor reagent, reducing its pH. The high buffer capacity of the
acceptor reagent largely eliminates sensitivity to carbonate. Nevertheless, Standard Methods recommend using
hydrated lime to stabilize samples such as effluents from coal gasification wastes, atmospheric emission scrub waters,
and other high carbonate-containing wastes.
a. Slowly add hydrated lime while stirring to raise the pH of the sample to 12.0–12.5.
b. Decant the sample after the precipitate settles.
