Abstract

A method for the determination of chlorine in high-purity molybdenum and tungsten with isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) has been developed using a Cl-37 enriched spike solution. After dissolution of the sample in H2O2, chlorine is separated by AgCl precipitation. Negative Cl- ther-mal ions are produced in a double-filament ion source using an easy-to-handle and cost-efficient quadrupole thermal ionization mass spectrometer. The detection limit, which is mainly influenced by contaminations from the laboratory air, lies between 0.006 and 0.1 mug/g depending on the variation of the blank values. Chlorine concentrations between 0.07 and 10.5 mug/g are analysed in different tungsten and molybdenum samples. A comparison with other sensitive analytical methods shows the urgent necessity of developing alternative methods for the determination of chlorine traces in refractory metals.
