Determination of Oxygen in Beryllium Metal by the Inert Gas Fusion Method
In an inert gas-fusion procedure, beryllium oxide is made to react with carbon in a graphite crucible yielding carbon monoxide which, after oxidation to carbon dioxide, is measured conductometrically. The work was carried out with a Leco inert gas-fusion apparatus which is slightly modified to accommodate larger sample weights. To provide an intimate contact of the molten sample with the graphite and to minimize the evaporation of beryllium, with the danger of subsequent gettering, nickel is used as a flux. The method is rapid and simple enough to permit the use of untrained personnel.
