| Abstract | Catalysts containing the platinum group elements (PGEs) are employed for a variety of industrial and chemical uses. Palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt) and rhodium (Rh) are the active components in automobile catalytic converters as well as catalysts used in pharmaceutical/biological applications and petroleum refining. In all cases the high economic value of these catalysts means that it is important to be able to measure the precious metal loading very accurately. The aim of this work was to develop a robust and reliable high accuracy/precision method for the analysis of Pd, Pt and Rh metals in autocatalysts with a target expanded uncertainty (i.e., k = 2, 95% confidence) of approximately 1% relative. A microwave digestion procedure was developed that provided a relatively quick total dissolution of the precious metals in a 0.2 g sample. An ultrasonic nebuliser with desolvation enabled the effects of the key interferences to be negated. Thus it was possible to make the comparison between a multi-collector ICP-MS and a more conventional quadrupole instrument. For Pd and Pt, high accuracy analysis was underpinned by an approximate matching isotope dilution calibration procedure. In the case of monoisotopic Rh an approximate matching bracketing calibration procedure was used (which had originally been developed for high accuracy ICP-OES) with Ru as the internal standard. Using the procedures reported here, the multi-collector ICP-MS provided data for the NIST autocatalyst reference material (SRM 2556) which showed excellent agreement with the reference values for Pd, Pt and Rh, with expanded uncertainties (i.e., k = 2, 95% confidence) of 0.9%, 1.1% and 0.9%, respectively. The equivalent data from the conventional quadrupole ICP-MS shows an approximately two-fold increase in these uncertainty estimates. Such a difference is likely to be very significant when dealing with these very precious materials which have a very high intrinsic economic value. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
