1. Introduction

1.1. Safety precautions

1.1.1. Meaning of safety alert symbols

Warning

Indicates that incorrect handling could result in the death or severe injury

to the operator.

Caution Indicates that incorrect handling could result in moderate or minor injury

to the operator, or damage to property.

1.1.2. Installation precautions

Warning

· Ensure to connect the protective grounding to prevent electric shock.

1.1.3. Maintenance precautions

Warning

· Shut OFF the supply of power before doing any maintenance or it could result in

electric shock.

Do not measure the sample digested by HNO3 directly. This sample may

generate heat on the activated carbon filter. Dilute it less than 5wt% of HNO3.

Caution

· Maintenance of the heater, exchange of the combustion tube, optical unit and

collection tube must be carried out after the power has been turned OFF and the

heater has cooled down to close to normal room temperature or it could result in

burns.

· There is the portion which sharpened inside equipment when maintaining the

combustion tube.

· Sample boat may still burn itself at high temperature when taking out the sample

boat tray which measurement finished, please wear and perform the leather glove.

· Please be sure to check that the leak check is carried out and there is no leak of

oxygen gas after maintaining the inside of equipment.

· Be careful when touching or handling any of the glass components or they could

be broken.

· Some things are not on the equipment, and an inspiratory port is not taken up.

· Equipment is 55kg and heavy load. Please carry by three or more persons.

· Only qualified persons should be allowed to engage in the process of changing

the calibration curve.

· Ensure to discharge any liquid from the drain tank once the work has been

completed.

1. Introduction

No.600-2166-04

It is very important to confirm that the power has been turned OFF before starting

the discharge.

1.2. System Outline

The Mercury/MA-3000 is a mercury analysis system that realizes the quick,

highly-sensitive and precise quantitative measurement of mercury contained in liquids,

solids, and gases (requires optional unit) with very easy operation.

The system has a built-in auto sample changer as a standard feature that is operated

using a personal computer (hereafter “PC”).

After a sample has been set in place, the system automatically transfers it to the

measurement unit and performs the measurement, with the output data then being

analyzable in various ways such as through statistical calculations on a PC.

An optional unit being connected also allows reducing vaporization measurements as

well as the measurement of gas collection tubes.

It is strongly recommended to carefully read this manual before using the system in order

to ensure that its full performance can be utilized.

2. Operating Principle

No.600-2166-04

2. Operating Principle

2.1. Operation

The sample heating furnace (H-1) heats samples to evaporate any mercury compounds

in them. The decomposing furnace (H-2A, H-2B) then decomposes the mercury

compounds in the gases generated in H-1 and removes any interfering ingredients from

them.

The mercury collector (H-3) collects the atomized mercury gas in the form of gold

amalgam, removes any interfering ingredients, and condenses and purifies the mercury.

After the heat decomposition sequence has completed, the collection tube is heated to

liberate the mercury again as mercury gas, and the absorbance is then measured.

Atomic absorption at a wavelength of 253.7nm is used in the detection.
