THE SEMI-QUANTITATIVE DETERMINATION OF TRACES OF SODIUM, POTASSIUM AND MAGNESIUM IN BISMUTH AND BISMUTH-URANIUM ALLOYS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4306850
The bismuth or bismuth--uranium alloy is converted to oxide and cxcited in the D.C. Arc under standardized conditions. A Medium Quartz Spectrograph is used for recording the spectra which are evaluated by visual comparison with spectra of synthesized samples containing known eoncentrations of sodiumn, potassium and magnesium. The method is suitable for the determination of sodium, potassium and magnesium down to concentrations of 1 to 2 ppm. (auth)
