DETERMINATION OF CHROMIUM IN CALCIUM FLUORIDE MOULD LINING

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4201296
Chromium can be separated quantitatively from calcium fluoride, after decomposition with fusion mixture and potassium nitrate, by leaching with water. The final estimation is carried out colorimetrically using diphenylcarbazide. The effect of the reagents used, and of any impurities present, on the final color intensity is discussed. The state of oxidation of the chromium at different points in the procedure is considered. For oxidation of the chromium prior to color development methods are given using ammonium persulfate and potassium bromate. (auth)
