[Determination of trace amounts of zinc in nickel electrolyte by flow injection on-line enrichment].
A method for the determination of trace amount of zinc in nickel electrolyte utilizing the flow injection on-line enrichment technique is reported in this paper. Atomic absorption spectrometer was used as detector. Zinc was separated from large amounts of nickel andother components in the electrolyte by absorption its chlorocomplex on a mini-column packed with strongly basic anion exchangers. It was found that sodium chloride containing in the electrolyte offered a sufficient chloride concentration needed for the formation of the zinc chlorocomplex and thus no additional reagent was required for the determination. The throughput of the method is 30 determinations per hour. The detection limit of the method is 0.002 microg x mL(-1) and the precision is 1.9% (RSD). The proposed method is rapid and cost-effective. It has been used for almost three years in the quality control of the electrolyte in the factory with great success.
