3 Operation Process

3.1 Sample Processing

3.1.1 Preparation of Test Solution

Weigh 0.25 g of the sample, accurate to 0.00001 g, into a digestion tank. Add 3 mL of concentrated nitric acid and 9 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid, cover and tighten the digestion tank, and put it into a microwave digestion instrument for digestion. Prepare a blank in the same way. After cooling, filter and dilute to volume in a 25 mL volumetric flask, and put it on the machine for testing.

Microwave Heating Program

Step	Temperature/℃	Holding Time/min
1	100	3
2	120	3
3	140	3
4	160	3
5	180	30

3.1.2 Preparation of Standard Solution

Preparation of copper standard series: Accurately pipette 0.0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 mL of copper standard solution (1000μg/mL) into 100 mL volumetric flasks respectively, dilute to the mark with (1+99) nitric acid, and mix well. The mass concentrations of this standard series solution are 0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 μg/mL respectively.
