Results obtained in the separate determination of copper (1 to 5%) and bismuth (0.1 to 1%) in an aluminum alloy, in the presence of lead (1%), iron (0.1%), and traces of arsenic, antimony, and cadmium, are reported. The determination at lambda = 435 m mu oc copper diethyldithiocarbamate, extracted with chloroform from an aqueous solution at pH 8.8 containing ammonium citrate and sodium ethylenediaminotetraacetate, is possible with an error of plus or minus 0.073 referred to the copper percentage. Bismuth can be determined on another portion of the solution of the alloy, at 460 m mu in the form of an iodide complex in the presence of sulfur dioxide, after an extraction at pH 1 to 1.1 from the aqueous solution containing tartaric acid and cupferron, and a successive extraction from the chloroform solution with 2N sulfuric acid: the error is plus or minus 0.023 on the bismuth percentage. For the bismuth also a determination lambda = 375 m mu was attempted, in the presence of hydrobromic acid and ascorbic acid; the mean error is plus or minus 0.020 on the bismuth percentage, with a precision higher than that of the other method.
