Abstract:Heavy metal mining and industrial waste contamination are significant environmental issues that modern civilization has been grappling with for some time. In geological ores, nickel (Ni) fire assay fusion (Ni-FA) and lead (Pb) fire assay fusion (Pb-FA) are the most crucial classical analytical chemistry methodologies used for the collection and determination of platinum group elements (PGEs) and gold (Au) from PGE ore. These classical experiments involve the pre-concentration of PGEs and Au and separation into… Show more
