Abstract

Zirconium and iron were extracted with tri-n-butyl phosphate (20% in kerosene) at 10 N nitric acid solution and hafnium was determined directly at 0.1 N nitric acid with xylenol orange. Aluminium was established indirectly after obtaining the combined value for Al + Hf at pH 5.3 in presence of tartaric acid (2.7 x 10(-4) M) using the same indicator and by subtracting the hafnium. The effect of titanium was eliminated by adding H2O2 and ageing the solution for 3 h. The lowest value that could be obtained for HfO2 was 50 ng/ml and for Al2O3 40 ng/ml using a 1 cm cell. The method has been applied to the determination of HfO2 and Al2O3 in synthetic solutions as well as in zirconia and zircon samples.
