Abstract
A method for the substoichiometric determination of tungsten by thermal neutron activation analysis has been developed based on the selective extraction of the tungsten dithiol complex into amyl acetate. The method is simple, rapid and accurate. It has been used in the determination of tungsten in alloy steel, meteorites and biological standard kale.
