The Absorptiometric Determination of Al2O3 in Glass Sands

JSGT 1955 V39 T205-T210

A method is described for the determination of alumina in glass-making sand, which depends on the measurement of the absorption in the yellow-green region of the spectrum due to the colour formed with the reagent known as "aluminon." The results obtained on a number of samples agree with those found by the conventional methods. The new method is considerably more rapid and convenient.
