Zusammenfassung

Bei dem empfohlenen Verfahren werden Cu, Zn, Fe und andere Störelemente mit Hilfe von Thioharnstoff, Ascorbinsäure und EDTA maskiert und der Al-Xylenolorange-Komplex bei 506 nm gemessen. Mit Hilfe eines geeigneten Eichverfahrens werden trotz der trägen Reaktion von Al mit Xylenolorange zufriedenstellende Werte erhalten. 50 Bestimmungen können innerhalb von 1 h ohne jedes Verschleppen durchgeführt werden. Bei der Analyse von Messing und Al-Bronze (1,43–10,2% Al) wurde gute Übereinstimmung mit zertifizierten Werten erzielt. Die Standardabweichungen lagen im Bereich von 0,2–0,3%.

Summary

A flow-injection spectrophotometric method has been developed for the rapid, continuous determination of aluminium in copper-base alloys. The system consists of the masking of copper, zinc, iron, etc. with a combined use of thiourea, ascorbic acid and EDTA and the measurement of light absorption of aluminium-Xylenol Orange complex at 506 nm. With appropriate standardization satisfactory results are obtained in spite of sluggish reaction of aluminium and Xylenol Orange. The system allows the analysis of solutions of copper-base alloys for aluminium to be conducted at a rate of 50 determinations per hour without any carryover. The results obtained for standard brasses and aluminium bronze (Al 1.43–10.2%) agreed well with the certified values. The precision (rsd) ranges are 0.2–0.3%.
