The determination of platinum-group metals in complex samples, including platinum-containing ores, products of their processing, catalysts, biologically active samples, and medicines, has always been a complex analytical task for any analytical method. The main difficulties are related to the low concentrations of platinum-group metals in test objects and to the effect of sample matrix on the analytical signal.Electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) is one of the most widely used methods for determining platinum-group metals. It is characterized by high selectivity and the lowest detection limits for platinum-group methods ( ≤ 10 for Pt) at the introduction of minor volumes of test solutions into the atomizer.However, in the majority of papers on the determination of platinum-group methods by atomic absorption spectrometry, e.g., in [1][2][3], it was noted that matrix components significantly affect the analytical signal, especially when the concentration of matrix components is several orders of magnitude higher than that of the analyte. This effect must be studied and taken into account in each particular case. Different methods for correcting for nonselective absorption can eliminate so-called spectral interferences but do not solve the problem of matrix effects due to chemical interactions of platinum-group metals with concomitant impurities in the test solution and solid and gas phases in the atomizer. In the last case, the general solution is to preliminarily separate the analytes from the concomitant impurities. The rapid direct analysis of samples of complex composition by EYAAS is possible only after the thorough optimization of the parameters of the atomic absorption spectrometer, including the knowledge of the behavior of sample vapors in the atomizer. Note that no systematic data were found on the effect of matrix components, such as Fe, Cu, Ni, Co, and others in determining platinum by ETAAS with a Massmann graphite furnace. The use of modifiers cannot fully eliminate the inhomogeneity of sample vapors in the atomizer. In addition, the separation of analytes from the matrix significantly simplifies the calibration of the atomic absorption spectrometer.Although methods for the separation of platinum and platinum-group metals have long been sought, the number of methodological solutions suitable for ETAAS is limited [2]. The majority of procedures for the extraction and adsorption preconcentration of platinum-group metals is based on the use of extractants and adsorbents bearing nitrogen-and sulfur-containing functional groups; these reagents cannot extract analytes from aqueous solutions of the composition acceptable for ETAAS [3]. Another important requirement for the method for platinum preconcentration and extraction, irrespective on the method for its subsequent determination, is the composition of the initial solution. Methods for transferring platinum to solutions are based mainly on the formation of chloride complexes. Therefore, extraction, adsorption, and chromatographic methods...
