Determination of nitrogen in aluminum-calcium complex deoxidizer by inert gas fusion-thermal conductivity method
The rapid and accurate determination of nitrogen in aluminum-calcium complex deoxidizer has im-portant guiding significance for the deoxygenation in steelmaking.0.200 0 g of sample was mixed with 0.4 g of nickel as the flux.The analytical power was set at 5.5 kW.The calibration curve was prepared with nitrogen standard solution series.Thus,a method for determination of nitrogen in aluminum-calcium complex deoxidizer was established by inert gas fusion-thermal conductivity.The experimental results showed that the nitrogen mass in range of 100.0-1 000.0 μg had a linear relationship with its corresponding peak area.The linear correlation coefficient was 0.999 2.The limit of detection of this method was 0.000 3%,and the limit of quantification was 0.001%.The contents of nitrogen in aluminum-calcium complex deoxi-dizer samples were determined according to the proposed method,and the relative standard deviations(RSD,n=9)of determination results were between 1.4%and 3.3%.Nitrogen standard solutions were added respectively into aluminum-calcium complex deoxidizer samples for recovery tests according to the proposed method.The recoveries were between 96%and 103%.
