Optical emission spectrographic procedures are described for the estimation of some 60 elements in graphite. Using sodium fluoride as a carrier, the dc arc is employed for a direct examination of powdered graphite, while the copper spark method is used for analysis of the residue after ashing the sample.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
