To eliminate the tedious and erratic distillation separation of tin, a new 8-quinolinol extraction- spectrophotometric procedure was developed. Both tin and molybdenum are determined in uranium, beryllium, thorium, zirconium, steels, and other materials. The method involves the extraction of molybdenum from a sulfate solution in the absence of halide, followed by the addition of halide and the extraction of tin. The molybdenum procedure can be made specific; tungsten interference in the tin procedure can be readily eliminated. The procedure is rapid, accurate, and precise.
