Xx. Dai et al., An alpha-amino pyridine resin preconcentration method for iridium in environmental and geological samples, ANALYT CHIM, 403(1-2), 2000, pp. 243-247
The adsorption behavior of iridium on an cw-amino pyridine (AP) resin at ve
ry low Ir concentrations (0.24 ng ml(-1)) was studied by using the Ir-192 r
adiotracer technique. A preconcentration procedure was established, and the
overall yield was 91.0 +/- 1.8% for Ir. Inductively coupled plasma mass sp
ectrometry (ICP-MS) has been applied to the measurement of Ir in reference
materials, and a good agreement between the reference values and our result
s was obtained. This method is also suitable for the analyses of trace Au a
nd Pd in environmental and geological samples. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.
