The invention discloses a method for using ICP-AES to accurately measure
precious metal content in a solution. The method comprises the first step of preparing a
precious metal single element standard
stocking solution; the second step of preparing an
indium internal standard stocking solution; the third step of preparing a
precious metal standard working solution, wherein the precious
metal standard can be a precious
metal single element standard or a standard of mixing of several kinds of precious
metal elements); the fourth step of preparing a precious metal sample testing solution; the fifth step of conducting measuring, wherein a proper
inductive coupling plasma emission spectrometer (ICP-AES) is selected to test conditions (including setting of an
internal standard mode), and a series of solutions like the precious metal standard working solution are measured to draw a working curve, the
linearity of the working curve is made larger than or equal to 0.99995, and a sample testing solution B is measured under an equal condition. An instrument automatically searches for the precious metal content value ws in the given sample testing solution B, and the unit is mg / g. The precious metal content
Omega p of a precious metal sample is obtained according to fixed weight
dilution folds, wherein the formula of
Omega p is (ws*m30*100*m27) * 100 / (m28*m25), the unit is %, and the precious metal is Au, Pt, Pd, Rh, Ir, and Ru.
