About this title

Synopsis

A handbook of practical techniques for professionals and 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 and the physical and chemical properties of precious metals are discussed. Also provides techniques for sampling for precious metals in ores, minerals, concentrates, rock, water, and biological, biogeochemical, and industrial samples.
