Determination of small amounts of zirconium--I: gravimetric procedures using mandelic acid and its derivatives

The limiting factors have been investigated for precipitation of zirconium at the milligram level by mandelic acid, p-bromomandelic acid and m-nitromandelic acid; the latter has only been briefly studied previously. Optimum conditions have been determined for quantitatively precipitating zirconium at 0.1- and 1-mg levels.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/32222/1/0000282.pd
