Abstract

It is known that an acidic solution containing bismuth (Ⅲ) ion turns yellow by thiourea. In this study a colorimetric method with thiourea was investigated as a rapid and simple detection method of bismuth in bronze castings. Bismuth in bronze castings was dissolved in a hydrogen peroxide and nitric acid solution at room temperature for a short time. It was confirmed that the solution dissolved bismuth turned yellow by adding thiourea.
