T. Schilling et al., DETERMINATION OF NOBLE-METALS AFTER SEPARATION AND PRECONCENTRATION WITH SILICA-BONDED COMPLEXING LIGANDS, Mikrochimica acta, 124(3-4), 1996, pp. 235-240
Noble metals are preconcentrated and separated from the matrix element
s by adsorption on proper complexing ligands immobilized on silica gel
and subsequent elution. Preconcentration factors of 5-10 were achieve
d. The reliability of the method was proved by analysis of a spiked so
il material and a CRM with ICP-AES and ICP-MS. Ag, Au, Pd and Pt showe
d a good recovery in the spiked material. The indicative value for gol
d in the CRM (145 BCR) could be confirmed.
