Spectrographic determination of impurities in ultrapure tungsten and tungsten oxide.
The effects of an external magnetic field and of the diameter of the anode on the spectroscopic line intensity of the impurity elements in ultrapure tungsten and tungsten oxide have been studied. The results obtained are used for the development of a more sensitive method for the determination of these impurities (Mn, Pb, Fe, Ni, Al, Mo, V, Cu, Cr).
Electrothermal AAS determination of bismuth, antimony and tin in high-purity WO3
SummaryFour methods for the bulk trace determination of Bi, Sb and Sn in WO3 were developed and tested. In all cases, the final determination is carried out by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The limits of detection range from 1 μg/g for a very fast and simple method to 50 ng/g for a method comprising a trace-matrix separation by sorption and complexation on activated carbon powder loaded with TMDTC. A way of preparation of standard reference WO3-samples doped with varying amounts of Bi, Sb and Sn traces is also described.
The analysis of group contingency data.
The data analyses utilized in group contingency projects are reviewed. Previous studies are cited to emphasize advantages of nonconsolidated ("individual") over consolidated analyses. Several procedures are described that enable applied researchers to incorporate nonconsolidated data analyses in group contingency studies.
