Antimony percentage in lead
Antimony percentage in lead
(OP)
After smelting and during production, I need to find the percentage of antimony in our lead. All I'm looking for is the antimony, no other elements. What is the easiest, and most inexpensive method to determine this other than a wet bench test.

I have seen this done with ICP-OES, but that isn't cheep.
I also recall that the sample prep for AA is a pain because you have to force the Sb all into one oxidation state.
Perhaps AA with a sputtering source (Ar ions) would do the trick. It is hard to beet the sensitivity of AA.
