A PROCESS FOR ACCURATE ANALYSIS OF BABBITT METALS BY INDUCTIVELY COUPLED PLASMA ATOMIC EMISSION SPECTROSCOPY,

摘要

This invention relates to a process for the analysis of Babbitt metals comprising the steps of preparing a solution of hydrochloric acid and dltartaric acid to a sample of the Babbitt metal to form a mixture, followed by heating the mixture for complete dissolution, to form a solution; cooling the solution, adding a cobalt solution thereto and making up to the required volume using hydrochloric acid, to obtain the Babbitt metal solution, subjecting the Babbitt metal solution to spectrophotometric analysis using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP), with the nebuliser flow at 8 to 8.5 lit/min, the auxiliary flow 2 lit/min, and the torch position at 0.4 m vertical and 4.8 mm horizontal.[IN-KOL-2009-00515A]
