THE DETERMINATION OF TANTALUM IN NIOBIUM

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4307197
The metal is dissolved in hydrofluoric and nitric acids. Hydrochloric acid is added and the tantalum is extracted with methyl isobutyl ketone. The tantalum is removed from the ketone layer by precipitation with ammonium hydroxide. The tantalum precipitate is dissolved in hydrofluoric and hydrochloric acids, reextracted from a hydrochloric acid medium and converted to the hydroxide. The hydroxide is fased with potassium pyrosulfate, and the tantalum determined spectrophotometrically using the tantalum pyrogallol system. Photometric measurement is made at a wave length of 355 mu in 5 cm cells. (auth)
