Nickel sulfide fire assay improved for pre-concentration of platinum …
A method was developed for ultra-trace determination of all six platinum group elements (PGE) by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).With involvement of Fe to the fusion charge compositions of the conventional NiS fire assay, a whole assay button in water may disintegrate into powder and then be dissolved with HCl. The insoluble …
