Abstract: | The suitability of three different digestion procedures has been evaluated with regard to the quantitative determination of
trace amounts of silver and cadmium in geological and environmental samples. Procedure A: extraction with aqua regia in an
open vessel system; Procedure B: extraction with aqua regia in a closed pressurized vessel system; Procedure C: digestion
with HF + HNO3 in a closed pressurized vessel system. It was found that procedure A represented an effective way of extracting analytes
from different types of geological samples while the effect of extracting interfering metals is low. Because it is interference-free,
poses a low risk of contamination and is time-saving, sample treatment procedure A was preferred. For this digestion procedure,
a series of Chinese geological reference materials was determined by ICP-MS, the results of which were found to be in reasonable
agreement with the certified values. |
