Abstract
Methods have been developed to measure Re, Ir, and Pt in natural waters and sediments by isotope dilution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ID-ICPMS). The techniques have been applied to determination of the three elements in sediments, Pt in seawater, and Re in seawater, sediment pore waters, and river waters. In each case, a stable isotope-enriched spike is added to the sample before processing. Sediments are dissolved in all-Teflon digestion vessels using a modified standard kitchen microwave oven. Anion exchange of the chloro complexes of Ir and Pt and of the perrhenate ion (ReO 4 - ) is used to preconcentrate the elements and to separate them from concomitants which produce molecular ions in the argon plasma resulting in isobaric interferences
