Determination of Lithium in Magnesium-Lithium Alloys

Abstract

To determine the content of lithium in magnesium-lithium alloys, lithium was precipitated in saturated aqueous lithium chloride solution as Li·Ni·(UO₂)₃·(C₂H₃O₂)₉·nH₂O, and determined gravimetrically by the following formula.

Presence of magnesium, aluminium and zinc, if less than ten milligrams, did not interfere with the determination of lithium within the range of 0.1∼1 milligram. Thus, the quantity of lithium in magnesium-lithium alloys could be determined without the separation of lithium from the mother element.
