Determination of the Common and Rare Alkalies in Mineral Analysis

Flame Spectrophotometry for Determination of Sodium, Potassium, and Lithium in Glass

“…In analyzing a borosilicate glass-60% Si02, 20% B203, 5% Na20, 5% Li20, 2% K20, and the remainder R203-it seemed probable that the alkali metals could be determined using a flame spectrophotometric technique in place of the arduous, timeconsuming classical methods (8, 14).…”
