Chelatometric titration of tin in non-ferrous alloys with hedta

A new titrimetric method for determination of tin (4%) in aluminium alloys, tin- and lead-base alloys, solders, white bearing alloys, special bronzes and silver brazing alloys is proposed. HEDTA, Semi-Xylenol Orange and bismuth perchlorate are used as titrant, indicator and back-titrant respectively. Measures are taken to overcome the hydrolysis of Sn(IV). Monochloroacetic acid and ethylene glycol are added as auxiliary agents. The standard deviation of this method was found to be 0.2 mg and its coefficient of variation to vary from 0.25 to 2%, according to amount of tin. A novel method of sample decomposition and a modified method for separating Sn(IV) are also suggested.     

Determination of silver, bismuth, cadmium, copper, iron, nickel and zinc in lead- and tin-base solders and white-metal bearing alloys by atomic-absorption spectrophotometry

A simple atomic-absorption spectrophotometry method is described for the determination of silver, bismuth, cadmium, copper, iron, nickel and zinc in lead- and tin-base solders and white-metal bearing alloys, with use of a single sample solution. The sample is dissolved in a mixture of hydrobromic acid and bromine, then fumed with sulphuric acid. The lead sulphate is dissolved in concentrated hydrochloric acid. The method is particularly suitable for the determination of silver and bismuth, which are co-precipitated with lead sulphate. The other elements can also be determined after removal of the lead sulphate by filtration.     

Surface characteristics of titanium–silver alloys in artificial saliva

Titanium and its alloys are widely used in biomedical and dental fields because of their excellent corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. It is well known that titanium is protected from corrosion because of the stability of the passive film that controls and determines the corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of titanium and its alloys. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the electrochemical properties of titanium–silver alloys and the surface characteristics of passive film in artificial saliva. We designed titanium–silver alloys with silver contents ranging from 0 to 5 at.%, in 1% increments. These alloys were arc‐melted, homogenized, hot‐rolled to 2 mm thickness, and finally solution heat‐treated for 1 h and quenched. Potentiostatic testing was performed, and the open circuit potentials of the alloys were measured in artificial saliva, at 37 °C. The passive films of the titanium–silver alloys were analyzed via XPS. Titanium–silver alloys maintained low current density and showed stable passive region and also had high open circuit potential as compared with pure titanium. The open circuit potential of titanium–silver alloys increased as silver addition increased. With regard to the fraction of oxygen species, a component of over 80% was found to be comprised of oxide. Therefore, the titanium surface mainly consisted of titanium oxide and, on the titanium–silver alloys, this film was composed of TiO₂, Ti₂O₃, and TiO. As silver content increased, the TiO₂ fraction also increased, as did the thickness of the titanium oxide layer formed. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Continuous spectrophotometric determination of copper, nickel and zinc in copper-base alloys by flow-injection analysis

Flow-injection methods have been developed for the determination of copper, nickel and zinc in copper-base alloys, including several types of brasses, deoxidized copper, beryllium copper and German silver. The system for copper and nickel involves the measurement of the absorbance of the copper(II) and nickel(II) aquo-complexes at 805 and 410 nm, respectively, after simple dissolution of the sample in a nitric acid-phosphoric acid mixture. The system needs no further reagents and the sample solutions can be analysed at rates of up to 280 /hr for copper (or nickel in German silver) without any carry-over. The system for zinc consists of automatic dilution of the injected sample with a thiosulphate-acetate buffer solution and the subsequent measurement of the absorbance of the zinc-Xylenol Orange complex at 568 nm. This system permits analysis rates of up to 90/hr for zinc solutions, with no carry-over. The procedures have been applied to standard copper-base alloys. The results agreed satisfactorily with the certified values. The precision ranges are 0.2-0.7% for copper and nickel and 0.5-0.8% for zinc.

Voltammetric determination of traces of silver in some metals after dissolution of the sample in mercury

The general possibility of analysing metals and alloys by dissolution of the sample in mercury and recording the anodic voltammogram is examined for the determination of silver in some metals. In order to obtain good separation of the silver peak from the anodic limit, acetonitrile is used in the supporting electrolyte. If the main component of the sample is more noble than mercury, analysis is simple and takes ? 20 min. Significant amounts of base metals in samples must be removed from the amalgam prior to the anodic stripping; optimum conditions for the removal are given. The detection limits found for the determination of silver in gold and lead and in indium amalgam are 4 × 10^?3, 4 × 10^?4 and 4 × 10^?6 % respectively. Dissolution of the lead button in mercury seems to be a successful alternative to the cupellation procedure. Silver in mercury does not form intermetallic compounds with gold.     

Strategies for the analysis of coal by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy

A comparison between a laser-induced breakdown spectrometry-partial least squares (LIBS-PLS) method and methods based on some well-known techniques, such as induced-coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS), and atomic scanning microscopy (ASM) is presented in order to both validate the content of gold and silver in alloys to be used as solid standards and develop an alternative to the established methods for the hallmark of gold and silver in jewelry pieces. 17 alloys with gold concentrations ranging from 100 to 50% and 8 alloys with silver concentrations between 100 and 80% and variable concentrations of other metals usually present in jewels were used as solid standards in LIBS in order to develop a method as general as possible. The results obtained in the analysis of some alloys (9 for gold and 7 for silver) show that the proposed method is comparable with the official one.     

Determination of microgram quantities of silver in aluminium-, iron-, and nickel-base alloys

Trace quantities of silver in commercial nickel and its alloys are quantitatively extracted from 10% hydrochloric acid medium containing 2% ascorbic acid and 9% potassium iodide by a 5% solution of tri-n-octylphosphine oxide in 4-methylpentan-2-one (MIBK). The MIBK-extract containing the silver is then nebulized directly into an atomic-absorption flame. The sensitivity for the determination of silver in MIBK is about 6 times that for aqueous media. The proposed technique is accurate, rapid, and has a standard deviation of +/- 0.025 ppm at the 1 ppm level. The limit of detection is 0.2 ppm of silver. The method is also applicable to a number of elements in aluminium- and iron-base alloys.

Salient features of the electrical double layer structure on mechanically renewed gold-silver electrodes in aqueous solutions of a surface-inactive electrolyte

The behavior of electrodes, which are made of binary Au-Ag alloys (Ag content 1–15 at %) and renewed by mechanical cutting in aqueous solutions of sodium fluoride, is studied with the aid of cyclic voltammetry and impedance methods. It is established that, in the region of potentials corresponding to ideal polarizability, the differential capacitance of the electrical double layer rapidly changes with time elapsed after the renewal of the surface of the electrodes. The change in the capacitance is brought about by the exit of silver atoms into a surface layer. The implication is that silver is the surface-active component in these alloys. The rate of the surface segregation of silver atoms depends on the electrode potential. The segregation rate substantially increases upon going into the region that corresponds to positive charges of the silver electrode surface and to the beginning of adsorption of atomic oxygen on the electrode. Based on phenomenological models, a method for processing capacitance curves is realized, which links experimentally observed time effects to variations that occur in the surface composition, and assumptions concerning the mechanism of relaxation processes that are responsible for the observed time effects are put forth. Explicit data on the effect, which is exerted by mechanical renewal on the composition of the surface layer of Au-Ag alloys at different distances from the interface with a vacuum, are obtained with the aid of an x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy method. It is established that the surface layer (～0.5 nm) is enriched by silver atoms as compared with the alloy’s bulk.     

Determination of sulfur in nickel-base alloys and alloy steels by isotope dilution mass spectrometry

An isotope dilution mass spectrometric method has been developed for the precise determination of 3–300 p.p.m. of sulfur in nickel-base alloys and alloy steels. The sample is dissolved in mixed acids, a spike is added, and nitrate ions are removed. Sulfate is reduced with a mixture of hydriodic, hypophosphorous, and hydrochloric acids; the hydrogen sulfide evolved is absorbed in cadmium acetate solution and converted to silver sulfide, which is burned to sulfur dioxide, for the isotope analysis. The relative standard deviation at the 50-p.p.m. level for 1-g samples is less than 3 %.     

Investigations of copper,silver and bismuth deposition on palladium in perchloric acid media

Investigations have shown that copper and silver ions deposited at more positive potentials than the Nernst potential—similarly to bismuth ions—are not adsorbed but form alloys with palladium. Similarly, in the case of metal deposition via the ionization of sorbed hydrogen, the same alloys were formed as observed by the potentiostatic method.     

Selective electrochemical dissolution of silver coatings on copper and its alloys

Thiocyanate electrolyte and a mode for selective dissolution of silver coatings from reject articles made of copper alloys were suggested. The possibility of using the electrodeposited silver, obtained on the cathode in silver stripping baths, as an anode material in fabrication of silver coatings was examined.     

Thermal conductivity of polyurethane composites containing nanometer- and micrometer-sized silver particles

Polyurethane composites containing spherical and flake-shaped silver fillers of micrometer and nanometer sizes were prepared by reacting suspensions of the silver filler in tetraethylene glycol with Desmodur^? HL BA. Both the thermal conductivity and the stability of the silver composites are increased in comparison with a reference polyurethane sample without filler. Unexpectedly, the largest increases in thermal conductivity and stability are observed for the spherical silver particles of micrometer size but not for the silver nanoparticles, which is reasoned with larger aggregates of silver particles and a higher degree of crystallinity in the sample containing micrometer-sized silver particles.     

Colorimetric determination of chromium in titanium alloys

Chromium-titanium alloys are becoming increasingly important because of their strength and corrosion, resistance. Therefore, accurate methods for the determination of chromium in this type of alloy are needed. A colorimetric procedure for the determination of chromium in titanium alloys is proposed. In this method the chromium is oxidised to the chromate state by means of ammonium persulfate and potassium permanganate in the presence of silver nitrate as a catalyst. Diphenylcarbazide is then added to an aliquot of the solution, and the violet color read in 10 to 40 minutes at 580 millimicrons. None of the elements found in commercial titanium alloys, including iron, vanadium, molybdenum, and tungsten, interferes with the method. The proposed method is superior to the volumetric method for the determination of small amounts of chromium. The method is designed for titanium. alloys containing 0.02 to 4 per cent chromium.

Conditions for attainment of thermodynamic equilibrium for the Ag/Hg system

Following a previous study on the influence of the size of silver particles used in dental alloys on the conditions for the attainment of thermodynamic equilibrium, results are presented on the influence of the particle shape factor. Calorimetric results obtained using different particle forms are compared with those derived from a mathematical model in which it is considered that silver particles can assume a spherical or cylindrical (flat or narrow) shape. It appears that the thermal effects obtained by computation are closer to those obtained by calorimetric experimentation when the sphere of the model is transformed into either a disc or a rod.
