Abstract: | A rapid less labour-intensive procedure for complete decomposition of tungsten bearing complex matrices by potassium pyrosulphate
and its determination using toluene 3,4-dithiol and thiocyanate is reported. The analytical results of various standard reference
materials are presented (Jasperoid GXR-1, Deposit GXR-3, copper mill head GXR-4, tin-tungsten ore IGS-26, Mo-W ore IGS-27,
tungsten concentrate SRM-277, scheelite ore SRM-2430, reference tungsten ore TLG-1, CT-1, BH-1 and Mo-W ore MP-2) along with
two manganese nodules (GSPN-2 and GSPN-3) recently introduced by the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences and one Polish
soil sample (SRM-2710). For most of the samples the agreement between the observed value and the published data have been
found to be extremely good. Derivations have been noted in some samples where published concentrations are indicative values
only, indicating that more data are still required to upgrade the status from proposed/unspecified to the certified level.
Results of various statistical analyses (intermethod comparison, F-test and regression analysis) reveal that the methods are
matrix dependent. Separation of tungsten from molybdenum is straightforward, hence can be used for a quality control programme
and in the evaluation of reference materials.
