A Study of analytical procedure on the microdetermination of phosphorus in silicon tetrachloride with aid of phosphorus trichloride-platinous chloride complex

Abstract

A method using phosphorous trichloride-platinous chloride coordination compound, was adopted for the sample preparation in the case of microdetermination of phosphorus in silicon tetrachloride. A spectrographic study was made to estimate its analytical use on the complex and then a neutron-activation analysis was applied to the determination of the trace amount of phosphorus in silicon tetrachloride according to this preparation method.
The method proposed for sample preparation may be available enough to the determination of phosphorus in silicon tetrachloride samples and it has such an advantage as simplicity, rapidness and less contamination with reagents used over other preparation methods.
