Features: Based on the objectives and requirements of modern precious metal analysis research, this book comprehensively and systematically elaborates on the physical and chemical properties of precious metals, as well as various complexes used in the analysis of precious metal elements. It provides detailed discussions on the analysis of trace or ultra-trace precious metal elements in mineral and environmental samples, material analysis in precious metal metallurgical processes, the analysis of precious metal alloys, jewelry, and purity, as well as the analysis of precious metal industrial catalysts and secondary resource waste materials. The book also introduces techniques for sampling various materials, sample digestion, and the preparation of precious metal standard solutions. Additionally, it discusses and looks ahead to the nanoscale analysis techniques of precious metals in bio-chemical and environmental analysis. The content of this book is rich, drawing primarily from domestic and international literature and standards on precious metal analytical chemistry over the past decade. It not only covers in-depth fundamental research in precious metal analytical chemistry but also, based on the long-term practical experience and expertise of the authors, recommends chemical or instrumental analytical methods and their operational procedures suitable for various specific applications. This book will be helpful for units engaged in precious metal geology, mineral processing, recovery, and precious metal material manufacturing, as well as for scientific and technical personnel working in precious metal analytical chemistry. It will alleviate the confusion caused by sample types and the selection of analytical methods they face. For university teachers and students, it will also serve as an interesting and valuable reference book.
