Abstract:Using traditional methods such as the national standard method to determine the alumina content in alumina copper has a long process and strict operation requirements, which is difficult to meet the daily quick and accurate testing requirements. In this paper, systematic investigations on the influential factors such as the sample pretreatment method, the analytical spectrum, the amount of hydrochloric acid and the copper solution system were carried out, and the optimal sample dissolution method and determination conditions were determined. Based on this, a closed constant temperature dissolution sample system with hydrochloric acid was established, and the alumina content in the alumina copper sample was determined by ICP-AES. The results show thatunder the selected conditions. In dilute hydrochloric acid, at constant temperature of 190 ℃ for 5 h, the copper solution system has no effect on the determination of alumina content. The recovery rate of this method is between 96.9%—102.0%, and the relative precision is between 0.35%—0.50%. Overall, the results indicate that the method is quick and precise and can satisfy the measurements of alumina contents in copper alumina.
