Abstract

A tracer study was performed of the electrodeposition on copper powder of metals with a normal potential above that of the Cu(II)/Cu couple. It appeared that in a quick and simple way nearly complete deposition of palladium, silver, platinum, gold and mercury can be attained, whereas ruthenium, osmium and iridium are hardly deposited. The chemical environment was chosen in such a way [1M and 1.5M nitric acid and Ce(IV)] that problems arising in the application of the system to different matrices are minimized.
