[Pretreatment of lead-antimony alloy and determination of antimony and selenium using ICP-AES].

The sample was obtained from original sample using "sawing method" and was dissolved with a mixed solvent of nitric acid and tartaric acid. After the sample solution was pretreated with a series of methods, Sb and Se were determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The results show that the recovery of standard addition of Sb was 96.2% and that of Se was 92.1%, and that the relative standard deviations (n=11) were smaller than 3.56%. The method is efficient, accurate and easy to operate, and has been applied to the determination of Sb and Se in Pb-Sb alloy products with satisfactory results.
