II. INTRODUCTION
Source emission tests are being performed on a series of electric
furnace installations, known as reactive metals or ferroalloys, for the
Office of Air Programs, Environmental Protection Agency. The tests include
grain loading measurements, particle size analyses, and chemical analyses
for a variety of furnace formulations and control devices. This report
covers the tests performed at the AIRCO Alloys and Carbide Plant, Niagara
Falls, New York, during the week of August 30, 1971.
Emissions for this particular plant were determined for a ferrochrome
silicon furnace (No.9). The furnace was provided with a hood with an in-
duced draft exhaust fan. This hood collected most of the dust and fumes,
except during the alloy "tapping" process. Sample point locations are
located in Figure 2. Further detailed diagrams and descriptions are
included in Section IV and V (Process Description and Location of Sampling
Points).
During this particular survey particulate matter was sampled using
the standard OAP train. Sulfur oxides were sampled using the Shell
Development method and integrated combustion gases were sampled in a gas
bag with analysis by standard Orsat. Particle size was measured in situ
with Brink Samplers. Samples for metals analysis were collected using the
standard EPA train.

III. SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Table I contains a summary of the results for particulate
sampling. They indicate an efficiency for the baghouse of approxi-
mately 96.5%. This figure is probably a little low due to the
particulate matter entering the baghouse exhaust with the induced
air. See the discussion for a more thorough explanation. The
average level of emission from the baghouse is approximately 30
pounds per hour. The inlet carries an average of approximately
1,827 pounds per hour.
The duct-work captures most of the fumes during the normal
operation of the furnace. During tapping, however, as much as 50%
of the fumes generated by tapping escape the duct-work.
Sulfur dioxide emissions from the baghouse averaged 8.8 ppm.
Particle sizing was carried out using BRINK cascade impactors.
The mass median diameter (HMD) for the baghouse exhaust was approxi-
mately 0.7 to 0.8 microns. The MMD for the furnace exhaust ranged
from 0.3 to 3.2 mdcrons during taps and between taps, respectively.
Complete results are contained in Appendix J«.
Metals analysis revealed a heterogeneous particulate material for
the furnace exhaust. Indications are that the material was a mixture
of oxides. The majority constituent of all the samples was silicon
dioxide. The only other large constituent was manganese. Complete
results are contained in Appendix J.

IV. PROCESS DESCRIPTION
The reactive metals are generally ferroalloys which are produced in
submerged arc electric furnaces. The facilities under consideration in
this report are open furnaces, with hooding, and emissions are ducted through
a baghouse after cooling. Figure 1 is a block diagram indicating
the inlet and outlet materials.
The electric arc is employed as a concentrated source of heat. Chrome
and other ores are added to the surface of the furnace through mechanized
equipment and chutes. Additional carbon in the form of coke, wood chips, etc.,
is an integral part of the furnace mix, along with specialized fluxes, etc. The
mix is added directly to the surface of the furnace through chutes and is then
spread over the surface with stoking machines.
The very high temperatures produced initiate a reaction in the bottom
of the furnaces and form a layer of metal which is tapped at appropriate
times. As the ore and carbonaceous materials settle to the bottom of the
furnace, the heat, in conjunction with a lack of oxygen, react with the
oxide ores to produce carbon monoxide which reacts further chemically, as
a reducing agent, in order to remove oxygen from the original ores and
thus produce the elemental metal. Escaping gases are burned at the surface
of the furnace in the so-called open units. In closed furnaces, these
gases may be burned in such a manner so as to salvage their heat value.
The furnace under test produced a ferrochrome silicon product.
Soderberg type electrodes are formed in place from a "paste" rather than
using prebaked carbon electrodes. Induced draft fans are employed to pull
fumes from the hooding into.the cooling system and baghouse. Any escaping
-------
fumes rise to louvers or monitors in the roof where they are discharged.
The furnaces are tapped at intervals of somewhat less than two
hours into ladles. The slag is removed from this ladle and disposed of
by various means. Molten product is poured into molds, after which it is
broken into usable sizes.

V. LOCATION OF SAMPLING POINTS
Sample port locations were selected where most satisfactory
during a presurvey inspection trip, and approved by the GAP Project
Officer. On the collector inlet side four ports were selected on
the top side of the rectangular horizontal duoting, in the middle of
a long, straight section. On the outlet side three ports were selected
at the top of the baghouse. These locations were not ideal, but were
in the only available location. The location should have no signifi-
cant effect on the results due to the particle size and low concentration
of emissions from the baghouse. The inlet side required a framework to
suspend the sampling train over the ports, capable of moving the train
horizontally and vertically. Platforms were required on the outlet side
due to the slope of the roof. Sampling ports and platforms were provided
by the plant. Figure 2 (page 9) shows a simplified cross-section of the
system under test and indicates the relative location of sampling ports.
On the inlet side each of the cross-sections was divided for 5-position
sampling, giving a total of 20 equal-area sampling points. On the outlet
side three trains were used, one at each port.Only one point was sampled
at each port, six feet into the port. Figure 3 shows a sketch of the
location of the sample points.
The downstream sampling locations were agreed upon as acceptable,
although they did not meet the criteria as established by EPA/OAP. Further
discussion of this subject can be found in Section IX.

VI PROCESS OPERATION
Process operations were within normal parameters throughout
the testing period.
Actual operating data for the plant is contained in Appendix C.
The furnace was operating at 20,000 KW during the test periods.
The feed rate of materials was 25,000 Ib./hr. producing ferrochrome
silicon (36 parts chrome and 40 parts silicon).
The toal dust collected from the baghouse storage hopper in
a 47-3/4 hour period was 44,620 pounds. This indicates an emission
rate of approximately 935 Ib./hr.

-------
VII. SAMPLING PROCEDURES
All test procedures were discussed with the Project Officer in
advance. All procedures were essentially the same as those being issued
by the Environmental Protection Agency for source sampling.
Preliminary velocity and temperature readings were obtained in
order to select nozzle sizes for isokinetic sampling. Particulate
sampling was .conducted using the OAP train as described in Appendix E-l.
Gas sampling was also conducted in accordance with the proposed
EPA standard source ttsting methods. Sulfur dioxide was sampled with
midget impingers using isopropyl alcohol and hydrogen peroxide solutions.
Combustion gases were sampled in plastic bags for immediate analysis with
an Orsat analyzer.
Particle sizing was carried out using Brink cascade impactor collec-
tors.
Sampling for metals analysis was conducted using the OAP train with
glass probe, without the cyclone collector. Only the material collected
on the filter was saved for analysis.
13
-------
VIII. CLEANUP AND ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES
Clean-up of the EPA particulate train was conducted in accordance
with the procedures as outlined in the standard EPA source testing
methods. Basically the clean-up is accomplished using acetone and
water rinsing, placing the various portions of the samples in separate
containers, and then drying the samples, and extracting organic material
from the water. These procedures are outlined in detail in Appendix E-2.
Sulfur dioxide was analyzed for using the Modified Shell Development
Method.
Combustion gases were analyzed on site by Orsat measurement using
a Burrell Industrial Gas Analyzer.
Particle size determination was carried out in the plant laboratory
using a recently calibrated Mettler scale.
Metals analysis is accomplished using various methods, including
electron beam microanalysis and atomic absorption.
See Appendix E-2 for further details.

IX DISCUSSION
A. Results
Continued problems were encountered with the filter of the EPA
smapling train plugging during sampling. (See related report FA-1
for previous problems). After experiencing rapid plugging of the filters
on sample ABD-1, possible solutions were discussed with the EPA represent-
atives. The decision was made to place the filter after the first three
impingers. Therefore, the data resulting from the particulate split
is not reliable for samples ABD-2 and ABD-3. It is, however, represent-
ative of total emissions. This fix improved the situation and only
one other related problem was encountered at this location. During
sample ABD-2 one impinger orifice plugged. The train was shutdown and
the tip was carefully cleared before continuing the sample.
The outlet samples taken on the baghouse were run non-isokinetically
at a high sampling rate. The reason for this was to allow a larger sample
volume to be collected. Due to the high efficiency of the baghouse,
it was agreed that the concentration of particulate matter would be
very low and that the particle sizes would be very small. This would
necessitate a large sample volume and would allow representative sampling
without iso-kinetic flow. The data collected supported these conclusions.
Therefore, the data is considered representative and reliable. Each
sample was calculated to give an emission rate in pounds per hour
based on the entire air flow through the baghouse.
The computed baghouse efficiency of approximately 96.5% is not
-------
necessarily correct. Actual efficiency is probably in excess of
98%. Induced air is over half of the volume of air leaving the
baghouse. The air being induced at the bottom of the baghouse is
heavily laden with dust from the surrounding area, including the
emissions from a near-by-plant. Although the sample locations sampled
the air leaving the bags proper, some induced air was probably sampled
also, causing the sample not to be completely representative of the
emissions from the bags. A high volume air sample taken (not by RRI)
near the bottom, but not in, the baghouse during the sampling program
supports the belief that a significant amount of what is emitted from
the baghouse exhaust is introduced by induced air. Personal experience
with baghouse operations and past history support the conclusion that
the baghouse is probably a little more efficient than the calculated
value.
The induced air was measured using a rotary vane anemometer to
measure the air flow around the bag compartments. Three of the total
of twelve compartments were measured. Multiple points were measured
in each compartment and they indicated a very uniform flow rate from
point to point and compartment to compartment. The open area around
each compartment was estimated by first measuring the area, then an
80% open area in the grating surface was estimated, using this
fraction as effective area. The volume estimated from this information
was then added to the average volume measured on the baghouse inlet
duct. No correction was made for possible leakage in the system prior
to the baghouse.
16
-------
The samples taken for combustion gas analysis by Orsat showed
very low CC>2 and high 02 concentrations. The calculations indicate
that perhaps the Orsat measurement of combusion gases and calculation
of "excess air" is not completely representative for this particular
process.
The filterable particulate at the outlet of the baghouse ranged
from 26% to 37%. Thus the majority of the emissions from the bags
are either very fine particulate or "condensible" fumes. This further
supports the decision to use non-isokinetic sampling. The only
sampling taken on the furnace exhaust with the sampling train in a
normal configuration was ABD-1. This sample indicates that this gas
carries an approximate 15-85 split between "condensible" and filterable
material. Previous tests (FA-1 and FA-2) have indicated the "condensible"
portion of the fumes to be less than 5% of the total catch. No feasible
explanation can be made as to why this apparent discrepancy exists.
The particle size measurements taken indicate a very small mass
median diameter (HMD) at the baghouse outlet. Very long samples were
required at this location in order to insure adequate sample deposition
on the plates for weighing. Sampling ranged from 2 to 4 hours. The
furnace exhaust sampling presented the opposite problem. Sampling
time had to be reduced to 5 minutes to avoid overloading the impactor
plates. The MMD at this location varied widely between samples (indicative
of the nature of the process) and was distinctly larger during non-
tapping periods. This would indicate that the tapping process released
17
-------
a finer particulate or fumes than normal non-tapping operation.
Chemical analysis of the particulate emissions revealed that the
emissions were largely oxides and primarily silicon dioxide. The
results present no new or unexpected information.
B. Operating Conditions
The operation of furnace # 9 is nonuniform, involving a series
of feeding, spreading and tapping operations. This would explain at
least part of the variation in emission data gathered.
In conjunction with the tests performed by Resources Research,
Airco Alloys and Carbide measured the amount of collected dust from
the baghouse during a period of almost two days. The material collected
came to approximately 935 Ib./hr. This correlates closely with the
measured amount at the furnace exhaust duct, and very closely with
samples ABD-1 and ABD-3 (959.3 Ib./hr and 918.2 Ib./hr.).
The hood and duct work used to collect the furnace emissions
was very efficient during between tap operation, collecting approximately
95% of the emissions. The hood and duct work for the tapping area
was far less efficient and collected only about half of the tapping
emissions.
18
-------
C. Sampling and Analytical Procedures
All sampling methods, and analytical procedures where appropriate,
were essentially the same as those methods being issued by the
Environmental Protection Agency for source sampling. Any deviations
are indicated at the appropriate location in this report and were
carried out with permission of the EPA project officer.
The sample ports on the furnace exhaust duct presented a minor
sampling problem. Their location required vertical traverses at a
slight angle from the true vertical. Thus the sample box and probe
had to be held in place at all times while being suspended by a block
and tackle arrangement. The ports were in the middle of a long
straight duct, at least 10 pipe diameters from any bends or obstruction
up or downstream.

APPENDIX E. 1
STANDARD SAMPLING PROCEDURES
PARTICULATE SAMPLING
In an unstable operation a trial run is conducted. Otherwise,
preliminary data are obtained for gas velocity, temperature and other
variables which might affect the isokinetic sampling rate. Four 5-
point, equal area traverses were selected as being most appropriate
for the conditions encountered at the exhaust duct. Three single points
were selected at the baghouse exit. Each sampling was designed to cover
one complete operating and tapping cycle, as a minimum.
Particulate samples were obtained using the equipment and test
procedures as stipulated in "Sample Collection Procedures," published
by GAP. The sampling train was basically the same as that designed
by the Control Development Program of OAP (formerly the Air Pollution
Control Office), "Gas Stack Sampling Improved and Simplified with
New Equipment," and described in Paper No. 67-119, presented at the
Air Pollution Control Association meeting in June 1967, Cleveland,
Ohio.
The sample gases were drawn into the all-glass sampling train
through a button-hook stainless steel nozzle with a diameter of 0.1875
inch. An incoloy probe was fitted inside the stainless steel sheath
with a probe heating element. The probe was connected to a glass
cyclone and an Erlenmeyer flask to collect the solids from the cyclone.
The sampled gases passed from the cyclone through a tared 2-1/2 inch
diameter MSA 1106BH glass fiber filter. This filter and the cyclone
E-l
-------
were enclosed in a heated box which was maintained near 250°F.
After the first test the filter was moved to a position after the first
three impingers (See discussion). The filter holder was connected to
an impinger train consisting of four Greenburg-Smith impingers with the
high velocity tip removed from the first impinger. The second impinger
was used with the tip while the third and fourth impingers were modified
as the first. The first two impingers each contained a measured volume
(100 ml) of distilled, deionized water. The third impinger was used
dry and the fourth impinger contained approximately 175 grams of silica
gel. The sampling train exit was connected, in line, to a vacuum gauge,
a leakless vacuum pump, a dry gas meter, and a calibrated orifice. The
calibrated orifice differential was measured with an inclined-vertical
manometer. Velocity variations at the sampling point were constantly
monitored by a pitot tube connected to the probe sheath. The sampling train,
with probe and nozzle attached, was leak tested prior to each test.
Isokinetic sampling was maintained at the exhaust duct by appropriate
adjustment of the sampling rate as indicated by the pressure drop across
the orifice following the dry gas meter. The necessary orifice pressure
differential was determined by using the nomographs presented in APCA
Paper No. 67-119. This nomograph related stack gas velocity, temperature,
and moisture content to the flow rate required for isokinetic sampling.
Isokinetic sampling was not attempted on the baghouse outlet (see discussion),
E-2
-------
SULFUR DIOXIDE SAMPLING
Sulfur dioxide emission tests were conducted at the same location
as the particulate tests. The sample gas was drawn through a glass
wool filter into a probe followed by a coarse frit midget impinger and
a second glass wool filter. The filter led to three midget impingers
in an ice bath followed in turn by a silica gel tube drier, vacuum
gauge, valve, leakless pump with by-pass valve, dry gas meter, rate
meter, and pitot tube with manometer.
The midget bubbler contained 15 ml of 80 percent isopropyl alcohol.
The first two midget impingers contained 15 ml of 3 percent H 0 solution
and the third was operated dry. A dry gas meter with vacuum gauge and
a pump followed the impingers. Temperatures, vacuum and gas meter readings
were taken and tabulated in order to calculate standard volumes. After
sampling, the train was purged with clean air in order to carry over any
S0? trapped in the isopropyl.
ORSAT SAMPLING
An integrated gas sample was obtained with a mylar bag and a peristaltic
pump with adjustable flow rate. The gases were filtered and cooled prior
to reaching an all plastic and glass flow meter where the sampling rate
was monitored. Gas samples were taken during the same period during which
velocities, temperatures, and particulate samples were obtained. Analyses
were performed at the site immediately after each sample was collected.
PARTICLE SIZING
The Brinks cascade impactor, followed by a 47 millimeter glass fiber
filter, was mounted on a probe and connected to a vacuum pump by a length
E-3
-------
of rubber tubing. The inlet side of the pump was fitted with a vacuum
gauge calibrated in inches of mercury and a flow controlling valve. The
outlet side of the pump was connected to a dry gas meter when samples were
collected longer than 5 minutes.
Prior to collecting samples, the Brinks impactor was calibrated to
determine air flow rates by connecting it in series with a vacuum pump
with a vacuum gauge, and a dry gas meter.
The collector was grounded to prevent electrostatic deposition of
particles. It was placed into the stack with the nozzle covered to allow
it to thermally equilibrate prior to sampling. The sample was then
collected.

APPENDIX E.2
CLEANUP AND ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES
CLEANUP (EPA PARTICULATE TRAIN)
Probe, Nozzle, Cyclone, and Front Half of Filter Holder
The nozzle, probe, cyclone, flask, and front half of the filter
holder were washed with reagent grade acetone. Washings were collected
in a container and transported to the laboratory for analysis. A rubber
policemen was used with the acetone to remove and particles adhering to
the cyclone walls or the flask. The reagent acetone used for washing
was tested to determine the blank or residue upon evaporation.
Filter
The tared circular MSA type 1106BH filter paper was carefully
removed from the fritted glass support and transferred to a glass petri
dish for later weighing.
Impingers
Water in the first three impingers (the original water plus the
condensate) was measured, then emptied into a polyethylene container.
The impingers were then water washed; the washings were combined with
the condensate and the original water.
Acetone Train Wash
The rear half of the filter holder, including the fritted glass
support, the impingers, and impinger connections up to but excluding
the fourth impingers, were washed with acetone. These washings were
collected in a glass bottle and sealed for later analysis. On those
samples where the filter was after the impingers, the filter holder wash-
ings were added to this portion of the sample.
E-5
-------
Silica Gel
Silica gel was transferred (dry) from the fourth impinger to
an airtight container and sealed. The impinger was then washed with
acetone, the acetone being discarded because it contained fine silica
gel particles.
CLEANUP (S02 TRAIN)
The impinger containing 80 percent isopropyl alcohol was discarded
and the impingers containing 3 percent H?0? saved. These contained SO
gas in the form of H?SO,. A glass jar was used as a sample container
for transportation to the laboratory for analysis.
ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES (EPA PARTICIPATE TRAIN)
Acetone Washings
The acetone washings from the nozzle, probe, cyclone and flask;
from the front and back of the filter; and from the impinger train
were analyzed separately by evaporation and drying at ambient tempera-
tures.
Filter Particulate
The filter and particulate collected thereon were dried for 24
hours in a desiccator at ambient temperature and weighed. Tare weight
of the filter was then deducted.
Impinger Water
Water collected in the impingers, along with the water washings of
the impingers, was extracted with ether and chloroform. The extracts
were transferred to a tared dish and evaporated to dryness at room
E-6
-------
temperature. After extraction, the remaining water and solvent were
evaporated to dryness on a steam bath and this additional net weight
was added to the total weight of particulate matter.
Analysis-Orsat Measurements
Orsat measurements for determination of carbon dioxide, oxygen
and carbon monoxide were made using a Burrell Industrial Gas Analyzer.
Analysis-(SO Train)
S0» samples were analyzed by the Shell Development method except
that barium perchlorate was used instead of barium chloride (as in the
EPA proposed source testing Method 7) because of the sharper titration
end point obtainable with the former reagent.
Analysis - Particle Sizes
The individual pre-weighed impactor plates were removed and weighed
to the nearest 0.1 milligram. The tared glass fiber filter was also weighed.
The weight gains represent particle size fractions.

EXPLANATION OF DATA
The field data sheets are included in Appendix J~2. The characteristic
diameter of an aerosol particle for each impactor stage (i.e., Dpc) has
been calculated for pressure drops across the impactor of five inches
of mercury and 10 inches of mercury, assuming particles of unit density
(1 gram/cubic centimeter), using the equation described by J. A. Brink,
Jr. * The characteristic diameters are as follows:

CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF EMISSIONS

CHEMICAL ANALYSES OF EMISSIONS
FROM
REACTIVE METALS SMELTING OPERATIONS
1. INTRODUCTION
Particulate fumes and gaseous emissions are generated during the process-
ing of a commercially important class of ferroalloy materials called reactive
metals. The particulate portion of these emissions is collected on glass
fiber filters strategically placed in the air stream of a ventilation system.
Six such filters from Airco (Niagara Falls, New York) were analyzed by atomic
absorption and qualitative electron beam X-ray microanalysis. Each of the six
filters prior to compositing was examined microscopically.
2. TEST RESULTS
2.1 Optical Examination
The loaded filters were examined at magnifications up to 30X. Under
tungsten filament illumination the separate filters appeared as follows:
ABD-1M Dark gray powder with black particles-no quartz
fibers from the collector pad visible.
ABD-2M Light gray powder with very few black particles-
no quartz fibers from the collector pad visible.
ABD-3M Dark gray powder with black particles-quartz fibers
from the collector pad visible.
ANE-1M Light gray powder with black particles-quartz fibers
from the collector pad visible.
ACE-1M A few black particles among the quartz fibers.
ASE-1M A few black particles among the quartz fibers.
K-l
-------
4742.3.71-152

The optical examination revealed that:
1. Four filters had trapped a heterogeneous particulate material
consisting predominantly of a gray powder and a minor amount
of black particles.
2. The amount of sample collected in four cases was so small that
the fibers from the filters could still be seen. In fact, in
two such samples, only a small amount of the black particles
could be seen against a background that was predominantly the
filter material.
Two different techniques were necessary to form composite samples:
1. Simple Blending of Loose Powders
Samples ABD-1M, ABD-2M, and ABD-3M were shaken, lightly scraped
and copious amounts of loose gray material were gathered, blended,
and designated as Niagara Falls Airco Inlet Duct Sample ABD-M. A
negligible amount of the collector filter material was included
in the blended sample.
2. Dissolution in a Common Reagent
Samples ANE-1M, ACE-1M, and ASE-1M were submerged (particulate
matter and filter pads) in a common solution of sulfuric acid.
A control experiment was also run on a unused filter pad to
determine the contributions of the filter. The composited sam-
ple in this case was labeled Niagara Falls Airco Stack Sample
ABE-M.
Small samples for electron beam X-ray microanalysis were cut
from every specimen prior to formation of any composite samples.

2.2 Electron Beam X-Ray Mi preanalysis
The electron microprobe is an advanced piece of equipment which uses a
small beam of electrons to produce characteristic X-ray emissions from a sam-
ple volume with a radius of ~1 micron. Curved crystal X-ray spectrometers
are used to analyze the resultant characteristic X-ray spectra. An examina-
tion was made of the complex spectrum of X-rays given off by the specimen
under electron beam excitation, and it was found that the entire spectrum
could be identified uniquely. All portions of the X-ray spectrum in the
wavelength range 1-100A covering all elements except H, He, Li, and Be were
taken into account.
In these analyses, the electron beam was defocused to a diameter of ~150
microns (0.006 inch) to cover a relatively large area of the specimen and to
insure that both the gray condensate and the black particles were analyzed.
The electron beam impinged in vacuum on the untouched surfaces of three specimens:
1. Sample ABD-1M
In this sample, the layer of particulate material was far too
thick to allow penetration of the electron beam into the
collector (filter) pad. In other words, only the condensed
particulate material was analyzed in this case.
2. Sample ABD-3M
The layer of particulate was sufficiently thin that a contri-
bution from the collector pad may be present.
3. Sample ANE-1M
A contribution from the collector was definitely present in
this case because the fibers from the collector could be seen
in the optical microscope viewing system attached to the
electron microprobe.
The qualitative results are compiled in Table 1 and provide the basis for
selection of elements for quantitative analyses. Note that a total of 15 ele-
ments were found* and that the stack sample (ANE-1M contained a small but
distinct amount of both sulfur and chlorine. Special mention is made of these
*
. The spectral scans were conducted in a manner such that all elements except
H, He, Li, Be, B, N could be detected.

elements because they were not included in the quantitative analyses which will
be described in the next paragraph. Note also that oxygen was detected at
about the 50%, thereby suggesting that the particulate material was a mixture
of oxides.
2.3 Atomic Absorption Analyses
Atomic Absorption (A.A.) means that a cloud of atoms in the un-ionized and
unexcited state is capable of absorbing radiation at wavelengths that are speci-
fic in nature and characteristic of the element in consideration. The atomic
absorption spectrophotometer used in these analyses consists of a series of
lamps which emit the'spectra of the elements determined, a gas burner to pro-
duce an atomic vapor of the sample, a monochromator to isolate the wavelengths
of interest, a detector to monitor the change of absorption due to the speci-
men, and a readout meter to visualize this change in absorption.
As stated previously, the two sets of samples were composited two differ-
ent ways for the atomic absorption analyses. The detailed procedures for the
physically blended powders are as follows:
1. The particulate material from three specimens was either shaken
loose or scraped from the filter pads with a wood tongue de-
presser and blended in a polyethylene container.
2. Duplicate portions of the blended powder were digested in hot
HCl-HNOo.* After cooling, the suspension was filtered.
3. The filtrate (soluble portion) was analyzed for the elements-of-
interest by atomic absorption. The precipitate (non-soluble por-
tion) was analyzed by "large beam" electron microprobe analysis and
flame photometry and found to be free of sodium or potassium. This
action was done because potassium acid sulfate (KHSO.) v/as used in
the next step.
4. The precipitate was blended with a known quantity of KHS04 and ignited
in a 850°C muffle furnace to form a fused mass which subsequently was
dissolved in HC1. Solution was not complete, and a filtra'tion step was
needed to separate the solution from a precipitate.
5. The solution was analyzed for the elements of interest by atomic
absorption, and the results from this step were added to those from
Step 3 to yield the total percentage of each element in the parti-
culate sample.
. The hot solution used was 8 ml concentrated HC1, 32 ml concentrated HN03
and 40 ml distilled water.
K-5
-------
4742.3.71-152
Page 6
6. . The precipitate from Step 4 v/as checked for SiO? by a gas
evolution technique.* This technique selectively decomposes
and volatilizes Si02 through reaction with hot H2S04, HN03
and HF in a platinum crucible. The portion of the sample
that still remained after all these steps was labeled an
insoluble residue in Table 2.
A different procedure was needed for those samples in which the quantity
of condensable particulate was insufficient for a physical separation. In
this case the following procedure was used:
1. Three entire collector pads, with material in and on them,
were digested in a common hot H2S04 solution. An unused
collector pad was submerged in a second identical solution.
2. The steps described previously were followed for both the
unknown and the unused sample. The results for the latter
were corrected to account for the fact that three used pads
were used with the unknown samples but only one unused pad
was employed as a blank.
3. The concentrations of elements in the condensable particulate
material was obtained by subtracting the results for the
"blank" from the total.
The results of" the atomic absorption analyses are compiled in Table 2.
The following are observations.
1. Both samples are predominantly silicon dioxide, Si02- This
conclusion is directly seen in the results for the Inlet Duct
Sample where 76.4% of the material is Si02- The concentrations
of the remaining elements are all low in comparison, and magnesium
is the highest at an average 5.44% level. The sum of all the
percentage values is 100%, and this indicates excellent closure
(mass balance). The 100% value is achieved when all the metal
percent values are converted to their equivalent oxide percent
values.**
N. H. Furman, Editor, Standard Methods of Chemical Analysis, 6th Edition,
Volume 1, D. Van Nostrand Company, Princeton, N. J., p. 950.
Equivalent oxide percentages are obtained by multiplying the weight percent
metal in Table 2 by the ratio. Mo/Mm where Mo is the molecular weight of the
metal oxide and Mm is that of the metal.

(a) No Si02 quantitative results were determined for this sample which was a composite of three filters
and their condensable particulate samples. The sample was known in advance to be predominantely SiOp-
(b) The residue that seemed to defy attempts at dissolution was analyzed on the electron beam X-ray micro-
analyzer and found to be primarily (~50%) platinum (from the platinum crucibles used) with lesser
amounts of aluminum, sodium, and fluorine. The latter group of elements probably are evidence
of incomplete digestion in the hot acid steps conducted early in the analysis-separation
scheme.

2. The Stack Sample, in comparison with the Inlet Duct Sample, con-
tains relatively more of every metal cation except magnesium.
The absolute amount of 'the Stack Sample v/as far less and this
had an impact on the sensitivity values. Thus the lower limits
for barium and titanium are 4% and 8% in the Stack Sample (rather
than 0.4 and 0.8%) because the total sample mass was limited to
"11 milligrams.
3. It must be emphasized that the values have been corrected to
account for the contributions from the filter pads. In other
words, the 12.7% Ma value is for the particulate matter collected
on a filter and ncrt for the filter pad.
