Abstract
A paper chromatographical method is studied to detect As and Sb from a mixed sample applying the principle of Gutzeit's. After spoting the mixed $AsH_3$ sample on the $AgNO_3$ band of paper strip (6 mm $\times$ 300 mm of Whatman No.52 or Toyo No.2 filter paper), the strip is developed by ascending method using N-HCl solution as a developing soluvent. The color spot detection of As and Sb is done by exposing the dried chromatogram to $H_2S$ stream. According to the experiments, the detectable minimum range of As is 3 micrograms and that of Sb is 15 micrograms. The yellow phosphorous interfers to the color spot detection of As and Sb, so that, previously the most of yellow phosphorous from the sample should be removed out.
