Standard Test Methods for Cyanides in Water ASTM D2036-09 11 This standard covers test methods

methods have been issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), International Standards Organization (ISO), and American Water Works Association (AWWA). Aquatic Free Cyanide ASTM Method D7237-10 6 This method applies to free cyanide in aqueous wastewater and effluents. Free cyanide ions (HCN and CN - ) and metal-cyanide complexes that dissociate into free cyanide at pH 6 to pH 8 in an aquatic environment are measured by this method using a FIA gas-diffusion technique with amperometric detection. This method is comparable to 4500-CN- R Free Cyanide by Flow Injection, Gas Diffusion, and Amperometric Measurement. Available Cyanide USEPA Method OIA-1677-09 7 & ASTM Method D6888-09 8 These USEPA-approved methods are based upon a ligand-exchange, gas diffusion technique coupled with amperometric detection. The concentration of available cyanide in wastewater, effluents and drinking water may be determined by these methods. This method is comparable to 4500-CN- Q Weak and Dissociable Cyanide by Flow Injection, Gas Diffusion, and Amperometric Measurement. Methods for International Cyanide Management Code ASTM D7728-11 9 This standard provides guidance on selection of analytical methods for implementation of the International Cyanide Management Code. Test methods in this guide cover the gold leaching process, environmental monitoring, protection of

for determination of cyanides in water. Methods for total cyanide after distillation, cyanides amenable to chlorination (CATC), and weak acid dissociable (WAD) cyanides are included. Standard Practice for Sampling, Preservation and Mitigating Interferences in Water Samples for Analysis of Cyanide. D7365-09a This practice is applicable for the collection and preservation of water samples for the analysis of cyanide. This practice addresses the mitigation of known interferences prior to the analysis of cyanide. Responsibilities of field sampling personnel and the laboratory are indicated. Total Cyanide USEPA Method 335.4 This method employs acid distillation to break down strong metal cyanide complexes and release HCN gas, which is trapped in a scrubber solution. This solution is colorimetrically analyzed using chloramine-T and pyridine-barbituric acid reagents. Total Cyanide ASTM Method D7511-12 12 This USEPA-approved method uses in-line UV digestion to break down strong metal cyanide complexes and release HCN gas, followed by gas diffusion separation and amperometric detection. ASTM D7511-12 can be used for analyzing wastewater samples for NPDES compliance reporting. This method is comparable to Standard Method 4500-CN-P Total Cyanide by Segmented Flow Injection, UV-Irradiation with Gas Diffusion, and Amperometric Measurement. Total Cyanide ISO-14403:2002 13 This method is used to determine total cyanide in water samples using a colorimetric flow injection analysis technique. Amperometric detection is also allowed as an option in this method.
