Determination of coloring elements in the glass raw materials limestone and dolomite by flame atomic absorption spectrometry : Report of the International Commission on Glass (ICG) Technical Committee 2 "Chemical Durability and Analysis"

Abstract

A method is described for the determination of impurities such as iron, chromium, manganese, nickel, cobalt and copper in the glass raw materials limestone and dolomite. The proposed method involves the direct measurement technique in aqueous Solution by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. It has been proved to be an accurate and quick method for analyzing concentrations normally found in these raw materials.
