ANALYTICAL METHOD FOR THE POLAROGRAPHIC DETERMINATION OF ZINC IN MAGNOX ALLOY

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4034799
A method for the determination of zinc in magnox alloys is descrioed. After extraction into a CCl/sub 4/ solution of dithizone, the zinc was back extracted with dilute HCl. The extract was evaporated to dryness, the residue wet oxidized to remove organic matter, dissolved in pyridine -pyridinium chloride base solution, and the zinc content measured by an a-c polarographic technique. The technique can be applied to zinc in the concentration range from 10 to 200 mu g. It was found that the detection limit could be lowered further by using a polarographic microcell. The method is applicable to magnesium-aluminum alloys containing beryllium in very low proportions. (M.C.G.)
