The invention discloses a determination method of
copper in raw gold, and belongs to a determination method of
copper in raw gold. The determination method comprises the following steps: firstly usingnitric acid to dissolve most silver in a specimen, then adding
hydrochloric acid to form an
aqua regia system to completely dissolve the specimen, using sulphurous acid to precipitate and separate gold, filtering, using a filter residue to recycle the gold, adding
sulfuric acid in filter liquor, and evaporating until the filter liquor is approximately dry, then using
sulfuric acid to dissolve a precipitate, using
ammonium hydroxide to adjust until blue
copper ammonia complex ions appear, adding 0.5 g of
ammonium hydrogen fluoride, shaking uniformly, adding 3 g of
potassium iodide, instantly using a
sodium thiosulfate standard
titration solution to be titrated until the solution is light yellow, adding 5 mL of a
starch solution, continuously titrating until the solution is light blue, adding 0.5 to 1.0 g of
potassium rhodanide, intensively shaking until blue color is deepened, then titrating until blue color justly disappears, recording the volume V1 of the consumed
sodium thiosulfatestandard
titration solution, and calculating the content of copper in the raw gold. The determination method has the advantages that the content of the copper in the raw gold can be accurately determined, the method is applicable to
mass analysis, and meanwhile the blank of the determination method for the copper content in the raw gold is filled.
