Microchimica Acta Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

This review deals with results recorded up to and including 1962. Qualitative schemes of separation of noble metals and methods of subsequent identification are discussed. The latter include: field tests, crystal tests, colour tests in liquid media, spot tests and catalytic tests. An attempt is made throughout the review to identify promising areas of research.

Zusammenfassung

Das vorliegende Referat umfaßt die Ergebnisse bis einschließlich 1962 über Trennungsgänge für Edelmetalle und Verfahren zu deren nachfolgender Identifizierung. Dazu werden herangezogen: Feldnachweise, Kristallfällungen, Farbreaktionen in flüssiger Phase, Tüpfelreaktionen und katalytische Nachweise. Es wurde versucht, auf aussichtsreiche Richtungen für die weitere Forschung auf diesem Gebiet hinzuweisen.

Résumé

Cette revue présente les résultats enregistrés jusqu'en 1962 compris. On discute les procédés qualitatifs de séparation des métaux nobles et les méthodes d'identification qui suivent. Ces dernières comprennent: recherches sur le terrain, par formation de cristaux, par réactions colorées en milieux liquides, par analyses à la touche et par application des phénomènes de catalyse. Au cours de cette revue, on tente à chaque instant de relever les méthodes de recherche qui semblent encourageantes.
