Determination of the Precious Metals: Selected Instrumental Methods

A handbook of practical techniques for professionals & students involved in the analysis of precious metals, either for exploitation or for contaminants. While most of the literature covers single techniques, it collects information on methods of analysis in a single source. After introducing the elements, basic techniques of analysis & the physical & chemical properties of precious metals are discussed. Also provides techniques for sampling for precious metals in ores, minerals, concentrates, rock, water, & biological, biogeochemical, & industrial samples.Van Loon, Jon C. is the author of 'Determination of the Precious Metals: Selected Instrumental Methods' with ISBN 9780471927457 and ISBN 0471927457.
