Abstract :
A number of methods using analytical chemistry were used to identify and quantify components in a thermal battery. The purpose of the task was to prepare a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) so that the battery could be shipped. Wet chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction, inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy (ICP) and emission spectroscopy were among the methods used to determine the composition of the various components in the thermal battery
