The decomposition and subsequent analysis of RhFe for iron.
Rhodium alloyed with base metals can be decomposed by dry chlorination at 1000 degrees . The reaction product sublimes and can be freed from the insoluble rhodium trichloride by filtration after the apparatus has been washed out. The condensation of the excess of chlorine in a liquid-nitrogen trap was found very effective for the prevention of sample loss during decomposition stage.
