Molybdenum and its compounds. Method of determining molybdenum and its compounds in workplace air

Journal Title: Podstawy i Metody Oceny Środowiska Pracy - Year 2014, Vol 30, Issue 1

Abstract

This method is used for determining molyb-denum and its compounds in workplace air. It is based on stopping molybdenum on a mem-brane filter, mineralizing the sample with concentrated nitric acid and sulphuric acid and preparing the solution for analysis in diluted nitric acid. Molybdenum in the solution is determined with atomic absorption spectrophotometry with a nitrogen peroxide-acetylene flame. The determination limit of the method is 0.4 mg/m[sup]3[/sup] (for a 600-L air sample). The developed method of determining molybdenum and its compounds has been recorded as an analytical procedure (see Appendix).
