Abstract

A rapid method is described for simultaneous trace determination of metallic impurities in lithium metal by Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) technique. The impurities were preconcentrated by ion-exchange separation using a weak cation exchanger, Bio Rex-70 and analyzed by 2.34 MeV protons. The reliability of the method was tested by analyzing synthetic samples having several metallic impurities at 1–5 ppm range.
