Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry shows advantag
e relative to other methods because of the easeness in eliminating int
erferences,speed of analysis and excellent agreement among the results
. An application of ICP-AES technique is described in this work for th
e determination of iron, aluminium and vanadium in titanium alloys use
d in prosthesis for bone implants. The analytical conditions were dete
rmined through the use of a multielementar standards solution and afte
r that the sample solutions, digested with 50% (v/v) hydrochloric acid
, were analysed.
