COCRYSTALLIZATION OF ULTRAMICRO QUANTITIES OF ELEMENTS WITH THIONALID. DETERMINATION OF SILVER IN SEA WATER

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4800360

The cocrystalization of ultramicro quantities of 27 diverse elements with thionalid was investigated by radiotracer techniques. Under optimum pH conditions, greater than 90% of each of the following elements was recovered from solution: Au, Os, Ta, In, Hg, Ag, W, Zn, Sn, Tl, Co, ir, Ru, Mn, Cr, and Hf. Limited distribution studies revealed that the Doerner-Hoskins distribution was inapplicable and that Fajans Rule was not obeyed. Information derived from these experiments was applied to the isolation and determination of silver in seawater. After radiometric correction for its yield, the concentration of silver in seawater was determined to be 0.145 plus or minus 0.006 mu g/l. (auth)
