Abstract
An improved method for the determination of ruthenium in catalytic materials based on a relative fluorescence ratio factor is presented. This method employs a thin-film technique and an internal standard technique to minimize absorption and enchancement effects. The samples and standards were fluorescent with a109Cd (7 mCi) annular source for 200 seconds and the data were collected and analyzed with an Apple II+ micro computer. Precision (total variation) for typical ruthenium catalysts in the range of 1–5% ruthenium was about 2%. Finally, the concentration of ruthenium in six commercial catalysts was determined for both alumina and carbon supports.
