The invention provides a method for measuring the content of
rhodium in a
platinum-
rhodium alloy, which comprises the following steps: completely dissolving the
platinum-
rhodium alloy, then mixing and reacting with
nitrite, adjusting the pH value, and carrying out
solid-liquid separation to obtain a
platinum-rhodium
mixed solution; and mixing the platinum-rhodium
mixed solution with a coordination precipitator and a polar
solvent in sequence, carrying out
solid-liquid separation to obtain rhodium precipitate, and calculating the rhodium content in the platinum-rhodium
alloy according to the
mass of the rhodium precipitate. According to the determination method, measurement errors caused by introduction of
metal impurities in the platinum-rhodium alloy are avoided, trace residues of rhodium precipitates in the solution and co-
precipitation of other interference metals are also avoided, procedures and used reagents are simple, operation is safe, efficiency is high, use of high-cost and complex precipitants such as
metal elementary substances or
cobalt hexammine
nitrate in the prior art is avoided, and the method is suitable for large-scale popularization and application.
Rhodium precipitation is complete, the determination result is accurate, the
relative standard deviation is especially smaller than 0.21%, meanwhile, dependence on expensive analysis equipment is not needed, and the method has great application value.
