Abstract:After samples of red clay nickel ore have been dried, by using sulfuric acid and hydrofluoric acid solution, nitric acid extraction solution, adding ammonia, with precipitation of phosphate as the carrieer, separating nickel, chromium, cobalt, copper and other interfering ions, nitric acid solution has been prepared. After neutralization reaction, using ammonium molybdate and potassium antimony tartrate as chromogenic reagent, using ascorbic acid as reducing agent and chromogenic. In the 700nm, measurement of absorbance has been carried out. By using computer to fit standard curve, phosphorus content has been calculated. The method can meet the quality requirements of precision and recovery rate.
