This standard specifies methods for the determination of antimony in zinc and zinc alloys, applicable to the determination range of 0.0010% to 0.050%. The standard describes the principles of determination using Atomic fluorescence spectrometry, AFS and flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) methods. Samples are dissolved by nitric acid-tartaric acid, pre-reduced with ascorbic acid, and copper ions are masked with thiourea. After antimony is reduced to hydride in a hydride generator, it is introduced into a quartz furnace Atomizer for fluorescence determination. The standard details the reagents, instruments and operation procedures to ensure the accuracy and conformity of the measurement.
