ANALYTICAL METHOD FOR THE ABSORPTIOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF NICKEL IN ZIRCONIUM METAL

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4195606
Zirconium metal is dissolved in a mixture of hydrochloric acid and ammonium fluoride. The pH of the solution is suitably adjusted and the nickel extracted as a dimethylglyoxime complex in chloroform. The nickel is re- extracted using an acid solution, and is measured absorptiometrically as its oxidized dimethylglyoxime complex. The method is suitable for samples having a nickel content in the range 5 to 60 ppm. (auth)
