THE DETERMINATION OF TRACE ELEMENTS IN METALLIC SODIUM AND SODIUM-POTASSIUM ALLOY BY THE POROUS CUP TECHNIQUE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4174719
A method for the determination of trace amounts of 15 elements in metallic sodium and sodium-potassium alloy (22.7% Na-77.3% K) was developed. The perous cup method of excitation is used, with palladium as internal standard. The spectra are recorded by means of a spectrograph. Microphotonetry and a plate calibration techrique are used for the evaluation of the spectrograms so obtained. Detection limits range from 2 to 15 ppm in the alkali metal or alloy. (auth)
