Abstract
A new, simple, rapid method for the determination of fluoride ion is based on the radiotracer principle. Under highly selective conditions, tantalum- 182 is extracted from 6.5M sulfuric acid solution as a fluoride complex into diisobutylketone. The amount of radioactivity extracted is proportional to the fluoride ion concentration. The counting rate is linear over the range 400 to 840 mu g of fluoride ion; below 400 mu g it is nonlinear but reproducible and useful. The sensitivity is about 40 mu g of fluoride ion. The radiotracer method exhibits relatively high tolerance to some of the serious interferents of other methods. Several useful applications of the method are discussed. (auth)
