Abstract: | Determination of fluoride in hydrometallurgical zinc-plant processing products and solutions with a fluoride-ion electrode is described. Various types of buffers were tested, to find a suitable common buffer for use in analysis of all types of substances generated at the zinc plant. The method involves decomposition of samples either by fusion with sodium hydroxide or by leaching with perchloric acid to bring fluoride into solution. The fluoride concentration is measured directly with a fluoride-specific electrode. In standard addition tests 100% recovery was obtained when a citric acid/sodium nitrate buffer was used. Validation tests gave satisfactory results. |
