Summary
Microgram quantities of iron, cobalt, copper, and zinc in aqueous solutions can be collected on tin(IV) hydroxide precipitates in greater than 95% yields over the range of pH 4 to 8. Tin is easily removed by evaporation as bromide. This separation technique has been applied to the emission spectrographic determination of low ppm level impurities in high-purity magnesium metal.
Zusammenfassung
Mikrogrammengen Fe, Co, Cu und Zn können in wäßrigen Lösungen an Zinn(IV)hydroxidniederschlägen bei pH 4–8 zu mehr als 95% angereichert werden. Sn kann als Bromid leicht abgedampft werden. Dieses Trennverfahren wurde zur emissionsspektrographischen Bestimmung geringer ppm-Verunreinigungen in hochgereinigtem Magnesiummetall angewendet.
