title: Determination of chromium in steel by atomic-absorption spectrometry with an air-acetylene flame.
abstract: A new atomic-absorption procedure is described for the determination of chromium, at levels up to 1%, in steel. The method involves the use of the air-acetylene flame and incorporates 8-hydroxyquinoline as a releasing agent to suppress metallic interferences. Chemical operations have been reduced to a minimum in order to provide a simple, rapid and accurate procedure.
