Copper concentratesThe method is applicable to the determination of mass frac

26、tions of gold from 0,5 g/t to 300 g/t and of mass fractions of silver from 25 g/t to 1 500 g/t in copper sulfide concentrates containing mass fractions of copper from 15 % to 60 %.

32、trated into a precious-metal alloy.The stages that comprise the determinations are described in 3.2 to 3.6 inclusive.3.2 FusionThe samples are fused in a crucible after mixing with a litharge-based flux which, under reducing conditions, collects the precious metals in a metallic lead button.3.3 Cupe

33、llationThe base metals present in the lead button are substantially separated from the precious metals by oxidizing fusion. Cupellation produces a bead largely comprising a silver-gold alloy with small quantities of other metals.3.4 PartingGold is separated from the primary bead by treatment with ni

34、tric acid. The gold prill is weighed. Gold prills having a mass less than 50 g are dissolved in aqua regia and the gold is determined by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). Silver is determined in the parting solution by AAS.3.5 RetreatmentAll residues are retreated to maximize the recovery of gol

35、d and silver. The addition of collectors for either gold or silver is not required, as both metals are present in sufficient amounts to be readily visible after the cupellation stage. The second bead is dissolved in acids followed by analysis of both metals by AAS.3.6 Correction for blank contaminat

36、ionContamination by gold and silver impurities in the reagents is corrected for by fusing the reagents without the test portion.4 ReagentsDuring the analysis, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and water that complies with grade 2 of ISO 3696.4.1 Sodium carbonate, anhydrous.4.2 Litharg

37、e (PbO), assay grade having a mass fraction of gold of less than 0,01 g/t and a mass fraction of silver of less than 0,2 g/t.4.3 Silica, precipitated.4.4 Potassium nitrate or sodium nitrateNOTE If sodium nitrate is used, the masses specified for potassium nitrate will have to be modified:2 ISO 2016
