Complexometric titration of zirconium and yttrium in the same solution for its application in zirconia-yttria ceramics

  • 1. Central Glass and Ceramic Research Inst., Calcutta (India)

Description

A simple stepwise complexometric method with EDTA has been developed for the determination of zirconium and yttrium in a single aliquot solution involving direct titration of zirconium at 1N HNO3 and 90 degC and of yttrium at pH 5.3 using methyl thymol blue as indicator. Interferences due to Fe, Ti, Al and Cu have been eliminated by masking with acetylacetone. The method has been standardised against synthetic solutions and applied to various zirconia-yttria ceramics and other yttria bearing materials. (author). 7 refs., 4 tabs
