Abstract:In this paper, a method for determination of beryllium (Be)in aluminum-beryllium alloyswas establishedby inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES).Linear calibration was achieved up to the range of 20 μg/mL using Be (II) 313.0 nm line whileusing Be(Ⅱ) 313.1 nm line, calibration up to 30 μg/mL was obtained.For higher Be mass concentrations, self-absorption resulted in non-linearity of calibration curve which can be avoided by selectinglines free from self-absorption. Moreover, selected Be lines were free from spectral interference of coexisting elements in thematrix. The Be limit of detection by the present method was determined 0.0004%(mass fraction). For Be concentration range of 1.0 – 15 μg/mL, linear regression of working curve was y=265.1010x+0.45 with correlation coefficient of R=0.999 645. The recovery rates were between 101% – 104% and the relative standard deviation resides between 0.58%–0.98%.The present results showed that the present method can be used for accurate and fast determination of Be concentration in aluminum-beryllium alloys.
