The Gravimetric Determination of Hydrogen in Molybdenum Metal

Abstract

The combustion- gravimetric method for the determination of hydrogen has been modified and adapted to the measurement of hydrogen in molybdenum metal. The sample is burned in oxygen at 11000 C. Fused magnesium oxide sand is used to absorb the molybdic oxide produced and prevent its sublimation in the combustion tube. The water produced by oxidation of the hydrogen present is absorbed in anhydrous magnesium perchlorate and weighed. An average recovery of 99.l% with a standard deviation of 8 ppm was obtained for the analysis of 62 samples containing known amounts of hydrogen in the 10 to 500 ppm range.
