The invention discloses a method for quickly determining the content of
barium in a
nickel salt solution. In 0.12 mol / L of
hydrochloric acid medium, tribromoarsenazo and
barium can form a stable purple complex, and according to the spectrophotometric analysis principle, accurate determination of the content of the
barium in a
nickel chloride solution or a
nickel nitrate solution is completed. Themethod comprises the specific steps that 5.0 mL of 0.6 mol / L
hydrochloric acid solution and 2.0 mL of 50 g / L
ascorbic acid solution are added into the pretreated nickel
chloride or nickel
nitrate solution in a 25 mL
volumetric flask in sequence and mixed evenly, then 5.0 mL of 1g / L tribromoarsenazo solution is added, and the volume is metered; with the
reagent blank as a reference, the absorbancyis measured at the wave length of 620 nm, and according to the absorbancy value, the content of the barium in the to-be-measured solution is obtained on a working curve. By means of the method, the content of the barium is within the range from 0
microgram / 25 mL to 50 micrograms / 25 mL and accords with the Beer's law, and the apparent
molar absorption coefficient epsilon is 4.64*10<4>Lmol<-1>cm<-1>; the recycling rate is 95-103%, RSD is smaller than 10%, the method is stable, reliable, quick and simple, and requirements for quick analysis of the barium in the nickel
chloride and nickel nitrateproduction process can be met.
