Abstract

Fluorine and chlorine are determined in geological samples following a sodium carbonate fusion and precipitation of interfering elements in the leach with ammonium carbonate. Fluorine is determined in the acidified leach utilising its fading action on the zirconium-xylenol orange complex. Chlorine is determined using the ferric thiocyanate method. The determinations are performed using the Technicon Auto Analyser.
