M. Fisera et al., DETERMINATION OF ARSENIC AND ANTIMONY IN HIGH-PURITY PHOSPHORIC-ACID BY ATOMIC-ABSORPTION SPECTROMETRY WITH ELECTROTHERMAL ATOMIZATION, Chemicke zvesti, 50(1), 1996, pp. 8-11
An atomic absorption spectrometric method with electrothermal atomizat
ion (AAS-ETA) for the determination of arsenic and antimony in high-pu
rity phosphoric acid is described. The determination is based on the r
apid generation of arsine and stibine based on reduction with a soluti
on of sodium tetrahydroborate, their absorption in a solution of nicke
l salt, nitric acid, and bromine, and is suitable for ng g(-1) levels
of As and Sb in H3PO4 and other mineral acids.
