Abstract

An arsine generation-atomic absorption spectroscopic method for the determination of 0.04–4000 p. p. m. of arsenic in antimony compounds is described. The interference from antimony and other elements is eliminated by solvent extraction with benzene. The sample is dissolved in concentrated hydrochloric acid and reduced with titanium(III) chloride. Arsenic(III) is extracted into benzene from 10–12N hydrochloric acid at which concentration no antimony (III) is extracted; arsenic(III) is then back-extracted into water. Arsine is generated with potassium iodide, tin(II) chloride and zinc powder from 2.4N hydrochloric acid solution, and introduced to a nitrogen-hydrogen flame. The method has been tested with various antimony samples.
