Abstract
A method is proposed for the determination of boron in cobalt and nickel coatings deposited from borane-type baths. The deposit is dissolved in hydrochloric acid in the presence of platinum chloride as catalyst, potassium chloride and mannitol are added, and the solution is evaporated to dryness. Boron is then distilled as methyl borate into sodium hydroxide solution, the distillate is evaporated to dryness, and the boron is determined spectrophotometrically with carminic acid. The mannoitol prevents volatilization of boron during the evaporation. Evaporating the hydrochloric acid solution to dryness eliminates excess of acid and water, both of which cause incomplete recovery of boron in the distillation. The potassium, cobalt, and nickel chlorides left after the evaporation dissolve in the hot methanol during the distillation and do not interfere.
