Description
The paper describes a destructive neutron activation procedure for the determination of all platinum group elements (PGE). The method has been used for the determination of noble metals in a large variety of standard reference materials, mainly of geological and technological origin. The results, given as the average of four independent analyses are reported and discussed. Average precision for the whole procedure is usually below 8% and sensitivities are adequate to meet the analysis requirements of terrestrial PGE- and Au-poor materials. (author) 29 refs.; 9 tabs
