Determination of Tungsten, Molybdenum and 5 Associated Elements in Tungsten-Molybdenum Ore by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry with Direct Sintering by Zhou SONG, Yiping JI, Weihua WANG, Shaomin FANG, Jie YANG, Huoyan LUO, Yuqi ZHOU

“…It is insoluble in hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and aqua regia, and the alkali melting and mixed acid dissolution method was often selected for sample digestion. However, the matrix effect cause by the alkali melting method seriously affects the accuracy and detection limit of instrument testing; the acid dissolution method has low dissolution efficiency for tungsten, molybdenum and other insoluble elements, and requires a long time and a complex pretreatment process by using a variety of inorganic strong acids such as hydrofluoric acid and aqua regia, which can also cause damage to the analytical and testing instruments.OBJECTIVESTo develop a simple and efficient method for quantitative analysis of tungsten and molybdenum and its associated elements in tungsten-molybdenum ore.METHODSBased on alkaline melting and acid dissolution, a method was established by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) with direct sintering and complex extraction of hydrochloric acid-phosphoric acid-citric acid. …”
