Production of Bauxite Certified Reference Material (BARC-B1201) for Nine Property Values (Al2O3, Fe2O3, SiO2, TiO2, V2O5, MnO,Cr2O3, MgO and LOI) Traceable to SI Units

The National Centre for Compositional Characterisation of Materials (NCCCM) / Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) and National Aluminium Company Limited (NALCO), India have produced an Indian origin bauxite certified reference material (CRM), referred to as BARC-B1201, certified for major (Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃, SiO₂, TiO₂, loss on ignition - LOI) and trace contents (V₂O₅, MnO, Cr₂O₃, MgO). Characterisation was undertaken by strict adherence to ISO Guides. A method previously developed and validated in our laboratory, using single step bauxite dissolution and subsequent quantitation (of Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃, SiO₂, TiO₂, V₂O_5, MnO, Cr₂O₃ and MgO) by ICP-AES (SSBD ICP-AES) was used for homogeneity studies and an inter-laboratory comparison exercise (ILCE) of the candidate CRM. LOI was determined by thermo-gravimetric analysis. Property values were assigned after an ILCE with participation from seventeen reputed government and private sector laboratories in India. The CRM was certified for nine property values: Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃, SiO₂, TiO₂, V₂O_5, MnO, Cr₂O₃, MgO and LOI, which are traceable to SI units.     

X射线荧光光谱法快速分析镁质耐火材料中硅铝铁钛钙镁

采用X射线荧光光谱法快速测定镁质耐火材料（包括原料镁砂及其制品镁砖）中的SiO₂、Al₂O₃、Fe₂O₃、TiO₂、CaO、MgO等6种组分。利用粉末直接压片法制取试样,确定仪器最佳参数,系列标样建立工作曲线,经验系数法对基体效应进行校正。对于主次组分,方法精密度低于5%（n=10）。方法用于实际样品的测定,结果与实验室化学法和其他单位的X射线荧光光谱法相符。方法适用于厂矿企业大批量生产的镁质耐火材料化学组成分析。
