Copper and zinc sulfide concentrates — Determination of thallium — Acid digestion and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry

Concentrés sulfurés de cuivre et de zinc — Dosage du thallium — Digestion acide et plasma à couplage inductif-spectrométrie de masse

Abstract / scope

This Document specifies an acid digestion and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) procedure for determination of the mass fraction of thallium in copper and zinc sulfide concentrates as follows.

a)    For copper sulfide concentrates, the method is applicable to the determination of mass fractions of thallium from 0,000 1 % to 0,002 5 %.

b)    For zinc sulfide concentrates, the method is applicable to the determination of mass fractions of thallium from 0,000 1 % to 0,025 %.
