BS 7317-2 is the second part of the BS 7317 series that discusses the determination of chromium, cobalt, iron, nickel and zinc by discrete volume nebulization atomic absorption spectrophotometry for the analysis of high purity copper cathode. Copper cathodes are used in the manufacturing of continuous cast copper rods which are further used for the wire, cable and transformer industries.
BS 7317-2 describes a method for the determination of the actual amounts of the impurity elements chromium, cobalt, iron, nickel and zinc present in high purity copper cathode (designated Cu-CATH-1), by discrete volume nebulization atomic absorption spectrophotometry.
BS 7317-2 on copper cathode applies to:
Copper cathodes are used in the manufacturing of continuous cast copper rods which are further used for the wire, cable and transformer industries. Atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) detects elements in either liquid or solid samples through the application of characteristic wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation from a light source.
BS 7317-2 provides you with the guidance about a process in which the impurity elements are determined using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer, into which a small volume of the concentrated sample solution is injected using a discrete volume nebulization (DVN) system.
With BS 7317-2 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets.
