Abstract
ALTHOUGH there are several methods for determining magnesium in aluminium, very few of these can be used successfully in the low concentration range. High-purity aluminium, as supplied by most aluminium manufacturers, usually contains magnesium in the range 1–50 p.p.m. Pohl1 has developed a chemical method for concentrating the impurities and afterwards analysing by spectroscopy. We have developed a distillation method to concentrate the impurities which is more specific than that of Pohl; after the concentration the analysis can be completed by any convenient method.
