Collection of trace elements on tin(IV) hydroxide

Microchimica Acta Aims and scope Submit manuscript

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.
