Analytic Procedures for Determination of Silver, Tin, Mercury, Copper, and Zinc in Dental Amalgams

Abstract
Previous analytic procedures for dental amalgam alloys were simplified and improved in accuracy. Qualitative analysis was conducted by X-ray spectroscopy. Hg was determined quantitatively by weight loss in flowing argon distillation; Sn by gravimetric SnO2 and Ag as AgCl; Cu by weight gain on electrolysis; and Zn by gravimetric determination as ZnO.
