AbstractAccurate and precise determination of platinum group elements (PGEs) at ppb concentrations in geological samples is important but problematic. This paper reports an improved analytical method for the determination of Pt, Pd, Ru, Ir and Rh at sub-ppb levels by isotope dilution-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ID-ICP-MS). Prior to experimentation, all reagents were carfully purified: HBO 3, HCl and SnCl 2 by Te coprecipitation and HNO 3 and HF by subboiling distillation. HF, HNO 3 and HCl were used to decompose 10 gram sample. The fluoride residue from the acid digestion is minimized by using H 3BO 3 for complexation, thus mini-fusion of sodium peroxide can be performed in corundum crucibles instead of bulk Na 2O 2 fusion to lower blank level. The solution of acid digestion and Na 2O 2 fusion are combined and PGEs are then pre-concentrated by Te coprecipitation. Cu, Ni, Zr and Hf are removed using cation exchange resin and P507 extraction chromatography resin combined in the same column to minimize their interference. Pt, Pd, Ru and Ir are determined using ID-ICP-MS, whereas the mono-isotopic element, Rh, is determined by external calibration using highly enriched 194Pt as the internal standard. The enriched 194Pt spike behaves similar to Rh during the Te precipitation procedure and acts as an ideal internal standard. The determination limits for PGE range from 0.01-0.19 ng g -1. The results obtained using this new method for the CCRMP (CANMET, Ottawa, Canada) certified reference materials WGB-1 (gabbro), TDB-1 (diabase) and UMT-1 (ultramafic ore tailings), show good agreement with the reported values, but have discrepancies compared with the certified values when the concentration of Ru, Rh and Ir below 0.5 ng g -1. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2004.
