Abstract

Neutron activation analysis after a nickel sulphide fire assay preconcentration for platinum group elements (PGE) has been established in our laboratory. In this work, the all PGE in DZ∑-2, a Chinese certified ultramafic rock standard reference material, are determined for testing the accuracy and precision of the method. The experimental conditions and the blank values from reagents and detection limits for the method are also presented.
