EN 16576 Automotive Fuels - Determination of Manganese and Iron Content in Diesel - Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP OES) Method

In the EN 16576 standard, which is a European standard, in order to determine the manganese content and iron content of approximately 10 mg/l to 0,5 mg/l each in diesels containing up to 7,0 percent fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), A test method based on inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES) is described.

Manganese and iron contents greater than 7,0 mg/l can be measured after preliminary dilution of the sample with a suitable solvent. However, certainty for such a procedure has not been established.

Since the use of this standard includes hazardous materials, processes and equipment, it is the responsibility of employees using this standard to take appropriate measures to protect the safety and health of workers prior to the implementation of the standard and to fulfill legal and regulatory requirements for this purpose.

Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) is the preferred method for many applications requiring the analysis of a sample for its fundamental content. It is widely applied in environmental, metallurgical, geological, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, materials, and food safety fields. This test method can be applied to various sample types, including aqueous and organic liquids and solids. Some of these sample types require special sample preparation techniques or the use of specific accessories to allow the sample to be placed in the ICP-OES instrument. The ICP-OES test method boasts a wide linear dynamic range, high matrix tolerance, and increased analysis speed. This method utilizes the unique emission spectra of elements to identify and measure them.

Briefly, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) is an elemental analysis technique that derives its analytical data from the emission spectra of elements excited in a high temperature plasma.
