Abstract
The preparation and characterization of standard samples representing several valence states for sulfur, vanadium, and chromium are described. The standards will be used by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to investigate the potential for determining valence state by high resolution wavelength dispersive x-ray emission analysis. A total of 40 single state and 13 multistate standards were prepared by dust generation and collection on polycarbonate filters. The prepared samples and valence states include sulfur (0, +4, +6, -2), vanadium (0, +4, +5), and chromium (+3, +6). At least three standards were prepared for each valence state, with mass concentration of the valence state element in the range 1 to 50 micrograms/sq cm. The prepared samples were coated with a thin layer of nitrocellulose by a wicking procedure to provide a protective coating and to prevent loss of material. Representative samples were analyzed for the uniformity of the deposit, mean particle size and stability in air, and x-ray irradiation.
