Rapid Scheme of Silicate Analysis Based on The Lithium Metaborate Fusion Followed By Atomic Absorption Spectrometry I. Determination of Silica

Abstract

A method for the rapid determination of silica in silicates is given based on the superior lithium metaborate fusion with a view to the development of a total atomic absorption scheme of silicate analysis using this fusion. Interferences usually associated with solutions of this nature are studied. Results are given for several standard silicate samples.
