[Direct determination of selenium and bismuth in antimony and antimony compound by hydride generation-atomic
Abstract:
The interference of Sb in determination of Se and Bi in antimony powder and antimony compound has been studied in different acidity, it is found that the interference of antimony has been reduced apparently in high acidity. Simultaneously, according to the difference of hydride generation reaction between Sb5+ and Sb3+, a sensitive and rapid method has been developed and used to determine Se and Bi in real samples. The recovery of the method is 95%-105% for practical samples. Detection limits are 0.00004 x 10(-2) (content) for Se and 0.0001 x 10(-2) mg.L-1 (content) for Bi respectively. The relative standard deviations of Se are 2.4% (content = 0.00169 x 10(-2) mg.L-1) and 5.4% (content = 0.00056 x 10(-2) mg.L-1). The relative standard deviations of Bi are 5.0% (content = 0.00024 x 10(-2) mg.L-1) and 1.3% (content = 0.00229 x 10(-2) mg.L-1). The method has been applied to determination of Se and Bi in practical samples with satisfactory results.
