Simultaneous determination of fluorine, chlorine and bromine in cement with ion chromatography after pyrolysis.

A rapid method for simultaneous determination of fluorine, chlorine and bromine in cement with ion chromatography after pyrolysis was proposed for routine quality control analysis. The elements were separated from cement sample by pyrolysis, and were subsequently determined with ion chromatography. A pyrolysis method was investigated for the separation of micro amounts of these elements from cement.

Differences of fluorine in cements determined by photometric methods after distillation and pyrolysis.

Using a spectrophotometric method after distillation separation is a standard test method widely employed for the determination of fluorine (F) in cement. Using a flow injection (FI) method after pyrolysis separation for quantification of fluorine in cement has recently been developed. Differences between the fluorine content values obtained by each method have been noted.
