The invention discloses a method for high-pressure airtight determination of silver in
copper ore, which adopts high-pressure airtight
digestion-
inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry to determine the silver element in the
copper ore, and comprises the following steps: accurately weighing 0.1000 g of
copper ore sample into a
polytetrafluoroethylene inner tank of a high-pressure airtight
digestion tank, adding 3mL of
hydrofluoric acid and 7mL of
nitric acid to soak the sample for 12 hours, stirring for 20-30 minutes, and then taking out the sample; 0.1 mL of
hydrogen peroxide is added before the
polytetrafluoroethylene inner tank is sealed, after the inner tank is screwed, the
metal outer tank is screwed, the
polytetrafluoroethylene inner tank is put into an anti-
corrosion constant-temperature
drying oven, the temperature is increased to 160 DEG C from the low temperature, the temperature is kept for 6 hours, the polytetrafluoroethylene inner tank is taken out after being cooled to the
room temperature, the volume is fixed to 10 mL, and a
nitric acid solution with the
volume fraction being 20% serves as a medium. And determining the content of the silver element in the
copper ore under the optimal working condition of the
inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer. The method has the advantages of simple and convenient detection process, low economic cost of equipment, high sensitivity, low
detection limit, accurate determination result, wide determination content range, less interference, environmental friendliness and the like, and also meets the detection requirements of simultaneously treating a large batch of geological ore samples.
