Determination of mercury in feeds
1 Scope
This document describes atomic fluorescence spectrometry, cold atomic absorption spectrometry and direct injection methods for the determination of total mercury in feeds.
This document is applicable to the determination of total mercury in formula feeds, concentrates, concentrate supplements, additive premixes, feedstuffs and feed additives.
For the purpose of atomic fluorescence spectrometry, where the sample weight is 0.5g and constant volume is 50mL, the limit of detection and limit of quantitation shall be 0.6μg/kg and 3μg/kg respectively. For the purpose of cold atomic absorption spectrometry, where the sample weight is 2g and constant volume is 100mL, the limit of detection and limit of quantitation shall be 3μg/kg and 10μg/kg respectively. For the purpose of direction injection method, where the sample weight is 0.1g, the limit of detection and limit of quantitation shall be 0.3μg/kg and 1μg/kg respectively.

After the test sample is heated and digested by acid, the mercury in the test sample is reduced to atomic mercury by potassium borohydride (KBH4) in the acid medium, which is brought into an atomizer by argon gas. Under the irradiation of a special mercury hollow cathode lamp, the ground-state mercury atoms are excited to high-energy state, and when deactivated to the ground-state, they will emit fluorescence with characteristic wavelength, and the fluorescence intensity is proportional to the mercury content, which shall be quantified by the external standard method.

4 Atomic fluorescence spectrometry (arbitration method)
4.1 Principle
After the test sample is heated and digested by acid, the mercury in the test sample is reduced to atomic mercury by potassium borohydride (KBH4) in the acid medium, which is brought into an atomizer by argon gas. Under the irradiation of a special mercury hollow cathode lamp, the ground-state mercury atoms are excited to high-energy state, and when deactivated to the ground-state, they will emit fluorescence with characteristic wavelength, and the fluorescence intensity is proportional to the mercury content, which shall be quantified by the external standard method.
