Tellurium is first separated in the elemental form by treatment with stannous bromide. After re-solution in hydrobromic acid the tellurium is determined photometrically as the bromide. 1
21、.2 Range. From0.005 to0.1% tellurium. 1.3 Reproducibility. Experiments have been carried out independently by a number of analysts using this method. The degree of reproducibility that can be expected is shown by the following analysis of the results obtained: 1.4 Application. The method is applicab
22、le to lead and lead alloys containing up to12% antimony. 2 Apparatus 2.1 Any volumetric glassware used shall be of ClassA accuracy as defined in the appropriate British Standards. 2.2 Any instrument suitable for measuring the optical density of the solution at a wavelength of442nm may be used togeth
23、er with a4 or1cm cell (Note7.1). Alternatively, when a filter photometer of the balanced two-photo-cell type is used, the following conditions have been found suitable (Note7.2): Tungsten lamp Kodak No.1 filter with Calorex H503 heat filter or equivalent filters4 or2cm cell (Note7.3). 3 Solutions re

27、sp.gr.1.461.49). Dilute to100ml and mix. ALTERNATIVELY: Dissolve10g of high purity tin in50ml of hydrobromic acid (sp.gr.1.461.49). Dilute to100ml and mix. 4 Sampling Recommended methods of obtaining a suitable sample for the analytical procedure given below are described in BS3908-1, “Sampling of i
28、ngot lead, lead alloy ingots, sheet, pipe and cable sheathing alloys”. 5 Procedure 5.1 Weigh2g of sample and transfer to a250ml beaker. Add20ml of the bromine-hydrobromic acid, warming if necessary until solvent action ceases. Then boil for5minutes to remove excess of free bromine. 5.2 Cool to appro
29、ximately60 C, add5ml of stannous bromide solution(25%), mix well and allow to stand for1hour (Note7.4). 5.3 Filter under suction through a No.4 sintered glass crucible using all glass apparatus. Wash the beaker and the precipitate first with stannous bromide solution(25%) and finally with water. 5.4
30、 Remove the suction from the Buchner flask and place a receiver inside the flask. Using a pipette wash the walls of the crucible with10ml of the bromine-hydrobromic acid to dissolve any tellurium not on the sintered disc. After3 to4minutes again apply suction and wash the crucible with water, collec
31、ting the filtrate and the washings in the receiver. Transfer these to the original beaker and boil until the volume is reduced to about10ml (Note7.5). 5.5 Cool, add35ml of hydrobromic acid (sp.gr.1.461.49) and10ml of ascorbic acid solution(10%) and transfer the solution to a100ml volumetric flask, w
32、ashing the beaker with10ml of water and adding the washings to the flask. Dilute to the mark with hydrobromic acid (sp.gr.1.461.49). 5.6 Measure the optical density using the conditions specified under2, Apparatus.

Then add to each20ml of the bromi
35、ne-hydrobromic acid, boil for5minutes and continue from5.2 of the Procedure. 6.1.2 Measure the optical density using the conditions specified under2, Apparatus, and prepare a calibration graph by plotting the optical density against the weight of tellurium in the various aliquots after deduction of
36、the blank reading. 6.2 For tellurium contents between0.025 and0.10% 6.2.1 Transfer0,2.0,4.0,6.0 and8.0ml of standard tellurium solution(1ml N 0.25mg of tellurium) to a series of250ml conical beakers and add to each2g of pure lead. Then add to each20ml of the bromine-hydrobromic acid, boil for5minute
37、s and continue from5.2 of the Procedure. 6.2.2 Measure the optical density using the conditions specified under2, Apparatus, and prepare a calibration graph by plotting the optical density against the weight of tellurium in the various aliquots after deduction of the blank reading. 7 Notes 7.1 A4cm
38、cell should be used for tellurium contents in the range0.005 to0.025% and a1cm cell for tellurium contents in the range0.02 to0.10%. 7.2 With this type of instrument the accuracy may be diminished at the0.005% level. 7.3 A4cm cell should be used for tellurium contents in the range0.005 to0.025% and
39、a2cm cell for tellurium contents in the range0.02 to0.10%. 7.4 The precipitated elemental tellurium is allowed to stand for1hour at60 C, to enable crystal growth and aggregation of the precipitate to occur so that this can then be conveniently filtered. If filtration is attempted too early either th
40、e precipitate is not retained by the sintered glass filter or the precipitate closes the pores of the sinter and the time of filtration is considerably lengthened. 7.5 The last part of the evaporation should be done slowly and dry spots should not be allowed to form on the bottom of the beaker.blank
