The invention relates to a method for determining the content of
palladium in
palladium ash, and belongs to the technical field of
precious metal secondary resource detection. The method comprises the following steps: uniformly mixing
palladium ash and a mixed
oxidizing agent, melting and decomposing, leaching by diluted
hydrochloric acid, adding
nitric acid, boiling to obtain a palladium ash sample solution, precipitating the palladium ash sample solution by
dimethylglyoxime under an acidic condition, and dissolving by
hydrochloric acid-
hydrogen peroxide to prepare a palladium solution to be detected; taking the palladium standard
stock solution, preparing a palladium standard working solution, determining the concentration of the palladium standard working solution by adopting an
inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer, and constructing a standard working curve; and according to the standard working curve, determining the
palladium ion concentration of the palladium liquid to be detected by adopting an
inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer, and then calculating the palladium content in the palladium ash. According to the method, the
decomposition capability of the sample is enhanced, the problems of limited palladium
trapping capability and incomplete
impurity separation of the existing method can be solved, and the accuracy of a palladium determination result is remarkably improved.
