Abstract
The acid digestion bomb pretreatment method for the determination of antimony in a commercial fire retardant material sample (DBDPE-<TEX>$Sb_2O_3$</TEX>) was studied. DBDPE-<TEX>$Sb_2O_3$</TEX> sample was digested with <TEX>$H_2SO_4:HCl$</TEX>(1:2) mixture in digestion bomb at <TEX>$220^{\circ}C$</TEX> for 2 hrs. and antimony was determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Recovery of 99.6-99.8% and C.V. of 0.94-1.07% for Sb was obtained for spiked real samples. In the present method, the analytical results obtained for antimony were 40.3 and 36.3% (w/w), respectively.
