The carbonate coprecipitation processing method was studied for simplified determination of content of calcium in cellulose fibers of cotton, ramie and rayon. All sample of cellulose fiber(about two grams) were dissolved with 200ml of 70% sulfuric acid, and 5∼25ml aliquots from the sample solution were diluted to 500ml with distilled water, following by adding dropwise of sodium hydroxide solution until the solution became neutralization by pH meter. Ten milliliters of 2gSr/l strontium chloride and 10ml of 20w/v% potassium carbonate were added to the sample solution containing calcium. Calcium ion was quantitatively coprecipitated with strontium carbonate. The precipitate was collected onto a membrane filter paper(0.45μm) and then dissolved with 2 ml of (1+12)HNO
3. The solution was made up to 100ml with distilled water and subjected to flame atomic absorption spectrometry (F-AAS). The detection limit for calcium was 1.2μg, and the lower limit of determination was 4.0μg. This method was influenced neither neutralization of sulfuric acid nor coexistence materials(pectin, protein, Ash, etc.) in a fiber, and was satisfactorily applied to determine calcium ion in cloth or yarn such as cotton, ramie and rayon. The removal rate to raw yarn of calcium ion was about 25% in scouring and bleaching yarn, and was about 70% in acid treatment yarn.
