DETERMINATION OF MAJOR AND MINOR ALKALIES IN SILICATES BY DIFFERENTIAL FLAME SPECTROPHOTOMETRY

Journal Article · · Talanta (England)
By attaching an external galvanometer circuit to a Beckman DU spectrophotometer and making use of an improved and highly stable air-natural gas flame, it is possible to apply the principle of differential measurement to the flame spectrophotometric determination of the major and minor alkalies and alkaline earths. Although it is doubtful that any reasonably rapid, purely flame photometric, method can ever equal the best flame-supported gravimetric techniques in determinations of major alkali constituents, procedures were worked out whereby rubidium and cesium can be determined with improved precision, and the accuracy of sodium and potassium determinations is significantly increased.
