tin, lead, antimony and silver

Cadmium high purity. Method of spectrographic of aluminium, bismuth,
iron, indium, cobalt, copper, manganeze, arsenic, nickel, tin, lead,
antimony and silver AXTU 1709

This standard specifies the method of spectrographic determination of impurities in cadmium of high purity in the following range mass fraction, %:

aluminium from 1·10-6 to 6·10-5
bismuth « 1·10-6 « 5·10-5
iron « 2·10-6 « 1 10-3
indium « 1·10-6 « 5·10-5
cobalt « 1·10-6 « 5·10-5
copper « 7·10-7 « 5·10-4
manganese « 7·10-7 « 1 10-4
arsenic « 2·10-5 « 1 10-3
Nickel « 1·10-6 « 5·10-4
tin « 1·10-6 « 5·10-4
lead « 7·10-6 « 1 10-3
antimony « 7·10-6 « 5·10-4
silver « 3·10-7 « 3·10-5

The method is based on the preconcetration of impurities by vacuum distillation of the bulk of cadmium and spectrographic analysis of the resulting concentrate.

To increase the efficiency of extraction of impurities in the concentrate are added cadmium alloy cadmium-tellurium.

3. ANALYSIS

3.1. To obtain a concentrate of impurities

3.1.1. Before starting, you must carefully prepare the installation for vacuum distillation of cadmium. To do this, using cotton wool soaked in diethyl ether, remove vacuum grease from the ground, dissolved in nitric acid residues of cadmium and immersed for 10 min the entire installation in a nitrating mixture consisting of three parts sulfuric and one part of nitric acid, the temperature of which should be close to the boiling point. Then thrice washed with water and dried in a drying Cabinet at a temperature of approximately 170 °C.

3.1.2. Cadmium analysis comes in the form of pigs weighing 20 — 40 g, diameter 15 — 25 mm, height of 10 — 20 mm. Before operation it is kept in solution ammonia to dissolve the oxide film, washed twice with water and dried. The thus prepared sample is placed in a quartz Cup with a capacity of 50 cm3 by adding 500 mg of alloy cadmium-tellurium. The Cup with the sample mounted on a quartz stand in a vacuum chamber, put a quartz dome, a cone which is smeared with vacuum grease. Hood grind to a vacuum rubber. Create a vacuum of 6.67 — 13,33 PA (0,05 — 0,1 mm Hg. calendar). To the fridge to attach the hoses for the inflow and discharge of water and include heating. Cooling should be insignificant.

Vacuum distillation of cadmium is carried out at 380 — 410 °C for 2 — 4 h. After removal of the foundations of the heater is removed, block the vacuum, open the valve for air supply, remove the vacuum chamber and into a Cup add 100 mg of the buffer. The mixture was stirred for 5 — 7 min. the enrichment Coefficient (K) is calculated according to the formula

where t is the sample mass, mg;

100 — mass of the concentrate, mg.

To carry out control experience in a quartz Cup with a capacity of 50 cm3 is placed 500 mg of the alloy, cadmium-tellurium and carry out the Stripping of cadmium in a vacuum under the same conditions as for the sample, for 20 — 25 min. To the residue was added 100 mg of buffer and grind thoroughly.

(Changed edition, Rev. No. 1).

3.2. Spectral analysis of the concentrate

Prepared from concentrates and Supervisory experience, as well as from the samples of the comparison on a torsion scale for three selected sample of 20 mg and placed in craters of the carbon electrodes. Carbon electrodes are pre-fired in an arc to an alternating current power 15 A or DC power 10 A for 10 s.

The spectra are photographed on a quartz spectrograph with slit width of 0.015 mm on the spectrographic photoplates of the type II. Evaporation of the sample and the excitation spectrum is carried out in the arc of an alternating current power 14 A. the exposure Time of 15 s. To construct the characteristic curve of photographic plates simultaneously with the samples and the samples of the comparison spectrum photographed through a nine-iron platinum reliever.

(Changed edition, Rev. No. 2).

4. PROCESSING OF THE RESULTS

4.1. In the spectrogram, using microphotometry measure the blackening of analytical lines of the determined elements and the background to the right or to the left of them. Build a response curve

photographic plates and find the value of lg (Il+f) and lgIf. Calculate the value , find the average value of this quantity for the three spectra of each sample to graph, concentrate and control experience. The calibration graphs are built in coordinates , lgC, where C — concentration of the analyzed element in the sample comparisons. For the calibration chart find the content of impurities in the concentrate and the control experiment. Fraction of total mass of element (X) in percent is calculated by the formula

where t1 — mass fraction of the element in the concentrate, %;

t2 — mass fraction of the element in a control experiment, %;

K — coefficient of enrichment.

The final result of the analysis taking the arithmetic mean of two parallel definitions (each definition derived from three spectrograms).

The difference between the two results of parallel measurements with a confidence probability P = 0.95 does not exceed the value of permissible differences (dn) calculated by the formulas:

dn = 0.3 mm for bismuth, manganese, copper, tin, antimony, and silver;

dn = 0,4  — for cobalt, arsenic, Nickel and lead;

dn = 0,5  — for aluminium, iron and India,

where is the arithmetic mean of the two comparable results of parallel measurements.

The difference between two results of analysis of the same samples with confidence probability P = 0.95 does not exceed the value of permissible divergence (da), calculated by the formula:

da = 0,3 - for bismuth, manganese, copper, tin, antimony, and silver;

da = 0,4 - for cobalt, arsenic, Nickel and lead;

da = 0,5 - for aluminium, iron and India,

where is the arithmetic mean of the two comparable test results.
