Abstract

A method for the rapid determination of silicon by direct injection enthalpimetry in steel and cast iron was elaborated. After dissolution of the sample and dehydration of silicic acid in perchloric acid, the separated silicium oxide hydrogel is dissolved in potassium hydroxide solution and after acidifying, hydrofluoric acid reagent is added. Formation of the complex anion [SiF6]2- and the simultaneously proceeding precipitation of insoluble K2SiF6 are exothermic reactions. The amount of heat released is directly proportional to the silicon content and is measured by a thermistor. Digital display of the Wheatstone bridge millivoltmeter permits to read the Si content in the sample directly in percent.
