Spectrophotometric determination of bismuth in copper and cartridge brass by the iodide method

An improved spectrophotometric method is proposed for the determination with iodide of trace amounts of bismuth in copper and cartridge brass. The sample is dissolved in nitric acid and the bismuth is separated from the copper by an ammoniacal precipitation in the presence of iron(III) hydroxide as a gathering agent. The hydroxide precipitate is dissolved in hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid is added, the solution is evaporated to a few ml, hydrobromic acid is added to volatilize the antimony and tin, and the solution is evaporated to fumes of sulfuric acid. The bismuth iodide color is then developed with a composite potassium iodide—sodium hypophosphite reagent. Factors affecting the bismuth iodide color are investigated.

Colorimetric determination of niobium in titanium alloys

There is need for a method for the determination of niobium in titanium alloys, since niobium-titanium alloys are becoming increasingly important. The determination of niobium in this type of alloy is an extremely difficult matter. Many approaches were tried before the problem was solved. In the method proposed in this paper the sample is dissolved in a mixture of hydrofluoric and nitric acids, the solution evaporated to a small volume, and boric acid added. Two tannic acid separations are then made to separate the niobium from the bulk of the titanium. The niobium, is determined colorimetrically by the thiocyanate method using a water-acetone medium. A study was made of the possible interference of elements that might be present in titanium alloys. It was found that the presence of tantalum causes two opposing tendencies. Tantalum can cause high results for niobium because it forms a complex with thiocyanate which is visually colorless but shows some absorption. Tantalum can cause low results for niobium by hindering the development of the niobium color. The resultant effect of the tantalum depends upon the amount of tantalum present, the amount of niobium present and the ratio of tantalum to niobium. The presence of more than one per cent. tungsten can lead to high results for niobium. Other elements that might be present in titanium alloys do not interfere with the method. The procedure is designed for titanium alloys containing 0.05 to 10 per cent. niobium. The method is reasonably rapid. Six determinations can be finished in two days. The method should be applicable to many other materials besides titanium alloys.     

Extraktiv-photometrische Bestimmung von Titan in Aluminium und Aluminiumlegierungen mit 4,4′-Diantipyrylmethan

(DAPM). The use of DAPM as a spectrophotometric reagent for the determination of titanium in aluminium and aluminium alloys was investigated. To the solution, 0.5 N in hydrochloric acid, a 2% solution of DAPM in 0.5 N hydrochloric acid is added to form the yellow complex of titanium(IV) with DAPM. The addition of 20% solution of tin(II)chloride in 0.5 N hydrochloric acid yields a yellow precipitate, which is extracted by chloroform. The absorbance of the extract is measured at 390 nm. 0.01–0.1% of titanium have been determined in pure aluminium and Al-Mg-Zn alloys by the method suggested (standard deviation ±0.0004 to 0.0008%).     

Colorimetric determination of carbon in titanium

A method is proposed for the colorimetric determination of carbon in titanium. In the method the sample is dissolved in a mixture of sulfuric and fluoboric acids, and nitric acid is added to dissolve the titanium carbide. The solution is boiled and filtered, and the yellow coloration from the nitrated organic complex is read with a spectrophotometer. A spectrophotometric study of the color was made. A comparison was made between the colorimetric determination of carbon in titanium and the colorimetric determination of carbon in steels. The proposed method is rapid and is readily adaptable to the determination of carbon in a large number of samples at one time. The procedure is designed for titanium containing up to 0.7 per cent. carbon. None of the elements encountered in “commercially pure” titanium metal interferes.     

Determination of antimony in concentrates, ores and non-ferrous materials by atomic-absorption spectrophotometry after iron-lanthanum collection, or by the iodide method after further xanthate extraction

Methods for determining trace and moderate amounts of antimony in copper, nickel, molybdenum, lead and zinc concentrates and in ores are described. Following sample decomposition, antimony is oxidized to antimony(V) with aqua regia, then reduced to antimony(III) with sodium metabisulphite in 6M hydrochloric acid medium and separated from most of the matrix elements by co-precipitation with hydrous ferric and lanthanum oxides. Antimony (>/= 100 mug/g) can subsequently be determined by atomic-absorption spectrophotometry, at 217.6 nm after dissolution of the precipitate in 3M hydrochloric acid. Alternatively, for the determination of antimony at levels of 1 mug/g or more, the precipitate is dissolved in 5M hydrochloric acid containing stannous chloride as a reluctant for iron(III) and thiourea as a complexing agent for copper. Then tin is complexed with hydrofluoric acid, and antimony is separated from iron, tin, lead and other co-precipitated elements, including lanthanum, by chloroform extraction of its xanthate. It is then determined spectrophotometrically, at 331 or 425 nm as the iodide. Interference from co-extracted bismuth is eliminated by washing the extract with hydrochloric acid of the same acid concentration as the medium used for extraction. Interference from co-extracted molybdenum, which causes high results at 331 nm, is avoided by measuring the absorbance at 425 nm. The proposed methods are also applicable to high-purity copper metal and copper- and lead-base alloys. In the spectrophotometric iodide method, the importance of the preliminary oxidation of all of the antimony to antimony(V), to avoid the formation of an unreactive species, is shown.

There is need for an improved method for the determination of iron in titanium alloys. In this paper a colorimetric method using o-phenanthroline is proposed. The method is applicable to the range of 0.02 to 9 per cent. iron. Two modifications of a basic procedure are described. One modification, applicable to ordinary titanium alloys, is a direct method. A second modification, applicable to alloys containing large amounts of certain alloying elements, calls for a prior separation of the iron by an ether extraction.

Hydroxylamine and ammonium tartrate are added, the pH of the solution is adjusted by the addition of sodium acetate, and o-phenanthroline added. A study was made to find the best pH and optimum amount of o-phenanthroline for the development of the color.
