I have a mixture of inorganic compounds. How to determine the percentage of individual inorganic compound?
this is a very broad question.
what do you mean by inorganic matter?
if you mean metals then you can either use AAS or ICP-MS.
Hi yes I need to quantify the % of metallic compounds in my composite.. And my composite is comprised of many metallic compounds.
If you have enough material, XRF may give you percentage of selected elements as well. If you know stoichiometry of the compounds forming your composite, you can then recalculate for wt.% of each component.
If you know the metals present in your compound you can carry out EDX ( Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis ) to get the percentage composition. Else first you have to do XRD ( X-ray powder diffraction ) to identify the metals present in your compound and then proceed to EDX for percentage composition.
