The invention relates to an
indium tin oxide (ITO) target material and a determination method for content of
indium and
tin during a production process of the ITO target material, after a sample is dissolved by acid,
potassium nitrate is added to liquid to be determined, excessive
ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) is subjected to complexation with
indium and
tin,
ammonia water is used for adjusting pH value, the solution is heated to a boiling state, and cooled to a
room temperature; hexamethylene
tetramine is added for adjusting pH value, indicator
xylenol orange is added,
titration of the solution is carried out by
zinc standard liquid until the color is changed from yellow to red, and the total content of the indium and the tin in the sample is converted through a consumption volume of the
zinc standard liquid; and
ammonium fluoride masking tin is added, after
ammonium fluoride is completely dissolved, the solution is heated to a requested temperature and cooled to the
room temperature, and the solution presents yellow, finally the
titration of the solution is carried out by the
zinc standard liquid until the color becomes red which is a
titration finishing point, and the content of indium
oxide in the sample is converted through the consumption volume of the zinc standard liquid. According to the ITO target material and the determination method, continuous titration of the indium and the
tin can be realized, the titration efficiency is high, and the test result has remarkable accuracy, stability and
repeatability.
