A new method for the atomic-absorption determination of lead blended as lead alkyls in motor spirit.
The total lead present as tetraethyl-lead (TEL) and tetramethyl-lead (TML) in motor spirit is determined by atomic-absorption spectrometry after decomposition by extraction with a mixture of mercaptoacetic acid and nitrous acid in the presence of hydrochloric acid.
