Normally no similar additions are required to compensate for the effect of alloying ele-ments. If an alloying el
41、ement is present in the material to be analysed in mass fraction 10 %, an appropriate mass of this element shall be added to the calibration solutions. The antimony concentration of the calibration solutions shall be adjusted to suit the sensitivity of the spectrometer used, so that the curve of abs
42、orbance as a function of concentration is a straight line. 7.4.1.2 Antimony mass fractions between 0,02 % and 0,10 % Into each of a series of six 100 ml one-mark volumetric flasks, introduce the volumes of the antimony standard solution (4.6) and of the copper base solution (4.8) shown in Table 1.
