[0002] In analytical chemistry, reference materials (RM) are an important part of laboratory quality control. Since silver purification is carried out by electrolysis - smelting method, and the other chemical components of silver ores in different regions also have large differences, the types and contents of impurities vary greatly. Therefore, it is difficult to use the purified silver as a standard sample for analysis. Currently, the common methods for analyzing and testing the impurity content of silver samples include GB / T 11067 - 2006 series, YS / T 958 - 2014, and ISO 15096 - 2020. Although there are requirements for the methods, laboratory analysis and testing usually do not involve silver standard samples, which has a great impact on quality control and restricts the development of silver detection technology.

[0034] Add 50 mL of hydrazine hydrate to the above solution, let it stand and cool overnight, and stir rapidly for a few minutes every few hours to fully expel the bubbles in the solution and break up the granular silver powder. Then decant the supernatant. The initial supernatant should be retained.

Repeat this twice; Put the silver powder together with the beaker into an oven and dry it completely at 105℃ to remove the moisture, then take it out for standby.

[0035] Preferably, the standard sample for smelting silver includes three steps: pretreatment, sample preparation, and sample cleaning and treatment.

[0036] Preferably, the specific implementation steps include:

[0037] S1: Pretreatment

[0038] Cover the bottom of a high-purity graphite crucible with a layer of activated carbon powder 2 - 3 mm thick, carefully transfer the silver powder to the graphite crucible and spread it flat, then cover the silver powder with another layer of activated carbon powder 2 - 3 mm thick. Tie the pre-prepared straw rope into a knot, place it at the opening of the graphite crucible, roll it up to cover the mouth of the graphite crucible, and then cover the graphite crucible lid;

[0039] S2: Sample preparation

[0040] Place the prepared graphite crucible into a muffle furnace preheated to 1000℃ and maintained at this temperature for more than 30 minutes, and melt it for 10 minutes. Cut off the power, open the furnace door, gently shake the crucible in the muffle furnace with crucible tongs (10 turns counterclockwise and 10 turns clockwise respectively), close the furnace door, and continue to heat up to 1000℃. Repeat the above operation every 5 minutes within the subsequent 15 minutes, a total of 3 times. Take out the graphite crucible and place it on a horizontal iron plate, and cool the iron plate with running water to rapidly reduce the temperature;

[0041] S3: Sample cleaning and treatment

[0042] After sufficient cooling, take out the silver standard sample, brush the carbon ash on the silver ingot with soap, wash it, then put it into hot 5% hydrochloric acid and boil for several minutes, rinse it thoroughly with ultrapure water, clean it with absolute ethanol or acetone, dry it at a low temperature of 65°C, wrap it with filter paper, roll it into thin slices, and store it in a sealed / vacuum state.

[0043] Preferably, the specific implementation steps of the secondary smelting are as follows: First, after the silver standard sample is analyzed and tested, if lower-content impurity elements are required, or if there are doubts about the sample uniformity due to too high impurity content, or if a series of silver standard samples need to be prepared, then cut the thin slice of the silver standard sample into small pieces smaller than 5 mm × 5 mm, and add an appropriate amount of electrolytic silver powder and mix well. Just repeat the operations according to steps 3.1 to 3.3 once.

[0044] Preferably, the silver standard sample is recommended to verify its element content and uniformity by using the international standard method ISO 15096-2020 and the industry standard method YS / T 958-2014, and it is recommended to send the sample to two laboratories with relevant qualifications for result comparison and sample value determination.

[0045] The present invention discloses a preparation method of a silver standard sample for impurity elements, and its beneficial effects are as follows:

[0046] 1. The present invention uses a silver nitrate solution mixed with impurity elements to react with hydrazine hydrate to generate silver powder containing impurity elements, and then smelts a silver standard sample through a reducing closed system generated by carbon / carbon monoxide in a graphite crucible at high temperature. According to research, there is currently no series of silver standard samples containing eight impurity elements with controllable content within a certain range for laboratory analysis and testing. The present invention successfully proposes the principle and method for preparing a silver standard sample containing eight common impurity elements, and prepares a series of silver standard samples with good uniformity, customizable elements and values, and meeting the requirements of laboratory analysis and testing, filling the blank in the market demand for silver standard samples.

[0047] 2. The silver nitrate solution adopted in the present invention is easy to react with a solution containing chloride ions to generate silver chloride precipitation, which then adsorbs impurity elements such as palladium, causing insufficient and uneven reduction and difficult smelting. And common commercially available standard element solutions (such as platinum, palladium, gold, antimony, etc.) often use chloride ions as stabilizers, making it impossible to fully mix the above two. The present invention adopts a method of combining nitric acid with complexing stabilizers (such as tartaric acid, EDTA, etc.) to form a stable solution mainly in a nitric acid medium, providing a solution and idea for related silver solution preparation technologies.

Weigh accurately a certain mass of selenium powder into a 150 mL beaker, moisten it with a small amount of water, add 5 mL of nitric acid and 5 mL of ultrapure water, heat at low temperature until completely dissolved. Among them, for selenium element, the recovery coefficient is 0.85 - 1.00; Solution H: Tellurium solution. Weigh accurately a certain mass of tellurium powder into a 150 mL beaker, moisten it with a small amount of water, add 5 mL of nitric acid and 5 mL of ultrapure water, heat at low temperature until completely dissolved. Among them, for tellurium element, the recovery coefficient is 0.80 - 0.95; The preparation of the silver powder includes dissolving electrolytic silver powder and reducing silver nitrate solution; S1: Dissolve electrolytic silver powder Weigh no more than 500 g of electrolytic silver powder into a 1000 mL beaker, add 100 mL of ultrapure water, then slowly add 50 mL of nitric acid, and carefully heat at low temperature until the solution tends to be calm; then slowly add 50 mL of nitric acid and 50 mL of ultrapure water in turn, and carefully heat at low temperature until the solution tends to be calm. Repeat several times until the electrolytic silver powder is basically completely dissolved, and cool it sufficiently. At this time, the volume of the silver nitrate solution should not exceed 600 mL, and the volume of the added nitric acid should not exceed 300 mL; S2: Reduce silver nitrate solution Transfer the pre-prepared Solutions A - H to the silver nitrate solution with pure water, stir evenly, transfer the above mixed solution to a 3000 mL beaker, and use a burette to slowly add hydrazine hydrate uniformly and continuously stir rapidly until the liquid changes from a black turbid solution to a colorless or light yellow transparent solution and granular silver powder can be seen. The liquid addition speed should be controlled during this process to prevent the solution from generating violent boiling due to heat release; Add 50 mL of hydrazine hydrate to the above solution, let it stand and cool overnight, and stir rapidly for a few minutes every few hours to drive out the bubbles in the solution and break up the granular silver powder. Then decant the supernatant. The initial supernatant should be retained. Pipette 10 mL into a 100 mL volumetric flask, slowly and carefully add 20 mL of hydrochloric acid, and make up the volume after cooling. Measure on the machine and calculate the amount of unreduced impurity elements in the supernatant to adjust the element recovery coefficient. Add 2000 mL of hot water to the silver powder, stir rapidly for 3 - 5 minutes, let it stand for 1 hour and then decant the supernatant. Repeat twice; Put the silver powder together with the beaker into the oven and dry it completely at 105 °C to remove the moisture, then take it out for standby.
