Abstract

A simple and rapid substoichiometric method is described for the estimation of rhenium in copper ores and molybdenum concentrates by neutron activation analysis. 2 μg of Re can be determined with an accuracy of 4%. The variation of the mean at 95% confidence limit does not exceed 2%. The time required for processing three samples is less than 60 min.
