A Study Concerning Characteristics of the High-Voltage a.c. Arc

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

This report covers the investigation of eight factors and their effects on the reproducibility of intensity ratios of spectral lines when the high voltage alternating-current arc is used as a source of excitation for quantitative spectrochemical analysis. The factors considered are photometry, weight of sample on the electrode, preburn time, exposure time, electrode separation, arc current, inductance, and anion-cation effect. Sodium hydroxide, sodium chloride, and calcium carbonate are employed for the work on the first seven factors. In the investigation of the anion-cation effect, eight inorganic salts are used. In conclusion there is a short discussion about data taken by a direct reading technique employing multiplier photo-tubes. Here an attempt is made to study short period variation in intensity ratio rather than the integrated effects produced when using photographic plates.
