Nitrogen is a contaminant of niobium and tantalum adversely
affecting the workability of the metal. With recent interest in the
refractory metals, one problem the chemical analyst must solve
is the accurate determination of nitrogen in niobium and tantalum
at very low levels. The usual method of assaying for nitrogen...
The Kroll Process for the production of zirconium utilizes
the reduction of zirconium tetrachloride with metallic magnesium.
Control of the magnesium content of the final zirconium metal is
essential, as residual magnesium adversely influences the properties
of zirconium.
In this thesis a volumetric method has been presented for the
determination...
A Heath EUW-20A Servo-Recorder was converted to a self-balancing, recording Wheatstone bridge. The EUW-20A 10000Ω slide-wire was used as the variable resistance arm of the bridge, the
servo-amplifier was used as the bridge unbalance signal detector,
and the servo-motor was used to balance the bridge automatically.
The bridge was arranged...
A gas chromatographic procedure was developed for the determination
of nanogram quantities of hydrocyanic acid using a
flame ionization detector. Excellent chromatograms were obtained
on a porous polyaromatic polymer column (Porapak Q) at 60°C. The
procedure was employed for the analysis of HCN in aqueous cyanide
solutions. Solutions as low...
An all-glass gas chromatograph was developed for the analysis
of corrosive metal halides. Included in the apparatus is a new liquid
sampling system designed for fast repetitive sampling of corrosive
liquids in an inert atmosphere. A flame photometer detector was developed
to permit the detection of corrosive solutes in the...
A procedure is described for the optimization of a previously
described continuous analysis adaptation of the Pearl-Benson or
nitroso method for estimation of spent sulfite liquor (SSL) or ligno-sulfonates.
The optimized procedure has a response time of 6.5 minutes. In order to monitor samples whose SSL concentration is
between 0...
