Quantitative Analysis of the Amount of Aluminium Dissolved in Phosphoric Acid

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The present work addresses how to measure the amount of dissolved aluminum in phosphoric acid, based on volumetric and gravimetric measurements of the precipitates formed by reaction between the H₃PO₄ solution containing dissolved aluminum ions and 10 % KF solution. The volume of the precipitates increased with dilution of the dissolved aluminum-containing H₃PO₄ solution up to 1/4 dilution above which it decreased with further dilution. The lowered amounts of the precipitates at low dilution less than 1/4 and high dilution more than 1/4 are attributed to high acidity of the solution and decreased amount of dissolved aluminum in the solution, respectively. Volumetric measurement of the amount of precipitates was found not to be very reliable with the experiments, while weight measurement of the precipitates after drying for 80 min at 60 ℃ appeared to be very reproducible. In the present work, it is suggested that the amount of Al dissolved in 85 % H₃PO₄ solution can be calculated by multiplying 50 to the weight of precipitate obtained by reacting 8 ml of 1/4 diluted H₃PO₄ solution containing dissolved aluminum ions with 6 ml of 10 % KF solution.
