TABLE 2.
The concentration (mg/l) of the content in heavy metal in the samples.
| ppm | Fe | V | Cr | Mn | Zn | Ba |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MK | 15–64 | 0.1–0.2 | <0.1 | 0.1–2 | 0.1–0.2 | 0.1–0.7 |
| FA | 14–87 | 0.1–0.3 | 0.1–0.2 | 0.0–2 | 0.0–0.4 | 0.0–0.8 |
| FA33K S.T. | 29–35 | 0.1–0.2 | <0.1 | 0.6–0.7 | 0.1–0.2 | 0.1–0.2 |
| FA36Na S.T. | 37–41 | 0.1–0.2 | <0.1 | 0.8–0.9 | 0.1 | 0.3 |
| FA67K S.T. | 41–49 | 0.1–0.2 | <0.1 | 1.3–1.4 | 0.2–0.3 | 0.3–0.4 |
| FA67K 1,000 | 46–52 | 0.1–0.2 | <0.1 | 1.4–1.7 | 0.2–0.3 | 0.3 |
The following elements were found in amounts lower than 0.1 ppm: Co, Ni, Cu, As, Se, Ag, Cd, Sb, Tl, Pb, and Be.
The lower limit of detection is 2 μg/l, while the upper limit of detection is 500 μg/l. When solutions were too concentrated, dilutions to 1:100 or 1: 1,000 were operated. Due to sample homogeneity and preparation procedure, the error affecting these results is around 30%.
