Methods for Chemical Analysis of Spodumene and
Lepidolite Concentrates - Determination of Calcium
Oxide and Magnesium Oxide Content - Flame Atomic
Absorption Spectrometric Method
1 Scope
This Part specifies the method of determining calcium oxide and magnesium oxide
content in spodumene and lepidolite concentrates.
This Part is applicable to the determination of calcium oxide and magnesium oxide
content in spodumene and lepidolite concentrates. The range of determination is 0.10%
~ 3.00%.
2 Method Summary
Use hydrofluoric acid, perchloric acid and hydrochloric acid to decompose the sample.
In the hydrochloric acid medium, add lanthanum and strontium release agents. At
wavelengths of 422.7 nm and 285.2 nm of the atomic absorption spectrometer, use the
air - acetylene (or nitrous oxide - acetylene) enriched flame for the respective
determination of calcium oxide and magnesium oxide.
3 Reagents
Unless it is otherwise specified, only reagents that are confirmed to be analytically pure,
and distilled water or water of equivalent purity are used in the analysis.
3.1 Perchloric acid ( 1.67 g/mL).
3.2 Hydrofluoric acid ( 1.15 g/mL).
3.3 Hydrochloric acid (1 + 1).
3.4 Lanthanum solution: weigh-take 40.11 g of lanthanum chloride (LaCl3  7H2O);
place it in a 250 mL beaker; use water to dissolve it. When the solution is turbid, add a
few drops of hydrochloric acid (3.3), or heat it up to make it clear. Transfer the solution
into a 500 mL volumetric flask; use water to dilute it to the scale; mix it well. 1 mL of
this solution contains 30 mg of lanthanum.
3.5 Strontium solution: weigh-take 15.2 g of strontium chloride (SrCl2  6H2O); place it
---Linear working curve: in accordance with the concentration, divide the working
curve into five equal sections. The ratio of the absorbance difference of the
highest section to the absorbance difference of the lowest section shall be not
less than 0.7.
5 Test Piece
5.1 Spodumene concentrates shall pass through a sieve with a mesh of 0.074 mm;
lepidolite concentrates shall pass through a sieve with a mesh of 0.105 mm.
5.2 Bake the test piece at 105 °C ~ 110 °C for 2 h in advance, then, place it in a
desiccator to cool down to room temperature.
6 Analytical Procedures
6.1 Sample
Weigh-take 0.10 g of the sample, accurate to 0.0001 g.
6.2 Number of Determinations
Conduct parallel determination of two samples; take the average value.
6.3 Blank Test
Conduct a blank test on the accompanying sample.
6.4 Determination
6.4.1 Place the sample (6.1) in a 50 mL platinum dish; use a small amount of water to
moisten it. Add 2 mL of perchloric acid (3.1), 2 mL of hydrochloric acid (3.3) and 10 mL
of hydrofluoric acid (3.2). Place it on a sand bath; heat it up to decompose it. Steam it,
until it emits thick white smoke of perchloric acid. Then, remove it and cool it down.
6.4.2 Use water to rinse the wall of the dish. Place it on a sand bath; continue to heat
it up, until the white smoke of perchloric acid is exhausted, then, remove it and cool it
down.
6.4.3 Add 2.0 mL of hydrochloric acid (3.3) and about 20 mL of water; place it on a
sand bath; heat it up to completely dissolve the salts. Then, remove it and cool it down
to room temperature.
6.4.4 Transfer the solution into a 100 mL volumetric flask. Add 5.0 mL of lanthanum
solution (3.4) and 5.0 mL of strontium solution (3.5); use water to dilute to the scale;
mix it well.
