Abstract:The content of calcium fluoride is an important index to evaluate the quality grade of fluorite. The sample was fused and decomposed at 700 ℃ with sodium hydroxide and sodium peroxide followed by dissolution with hydrochloric acid (1+4) to prepare the solution. Sodium citrate and potassium nitrate were selected as the total ion strength adjustment buffer, and alizarin red S was used as indictor. The fluoride content was determined by ion selective electrode method, which could be used to calculate the content of calcium fluoride in fluorite. The fluorite sample was treated by three decomposition methods, i.e., high temperature, sodium hydroxide fusion, and sodium hydroxide-sodium peroxide fusion. The treated samples were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that the calcium fluoride could be completely decomposed by sodium hydroxide under high temperature alkali fusion conditions, thus accelerating the complete decomposition of sample. The sulfur in fluorite was fully oxidized to sulfate by sodium peroxide to eliminate the influence of sulfur on the determination. The standard samples and production samples of fluorite were determined according to the experimental method. The standard deviations of results were between 0.26% and 0.40%, and the relative standard deviations (RSD) were between 0.28% and 0.74%. The found results of calcium fluoride content in fluorite CRMs and samples were consistent with the certified or reference values.
