Abstract

A substoichiometric determination of traces of silver in germanium dioxide and in metallic lead has been developed. It consists of simultaneous irradiation of a standard and test sample in a nuclear reactor followed by dissolution and addition of silver carrier. After adjusting the pH, the samples are extracted with the same substoichiometric amount of dithizone in carbon tetrachloride and the activities of the organic extracts measured. This single-step separation procedure is fully satisfactory because of its high selectivity. Moreover, substoichiometry avoids the necessity of determining the chemical yield. The procedure developed could be adapted without difficulty for the determination of traces of silver in other materials.
