Conclusion/Future
Work
üEichrom’s Be resin seems to be a fast and reliable
method to remove spectral
interferences from samples when analyzing for Beryllium
üNeed to better understand the effects of residual
organics on the recovery of
Internal Standards such as Sc.
–A post organic filter seems to solve the problem
ü Filter could be
used to Lower MDL
–ACGIH has
recently issued a Notice of Intended Change (NIC) to lower the Threshold Limit Value (TLV) for airborne beryllium
to 0.02 micrograms per cubic
meter, or one-tenth of the current DOE action level.
–Concentrate sample onto column, elate with smaller
volume
üNeed to quicken the process
–Reduce number of sample
