Abstract:
Hg, As and Cd in soil/sediment samples were determined with the refluxing digestion of aqua regia. Cd was determined by Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometry. Hg and As were determined by Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry. 8 geochemical standard reference material of soil/sediment were tested. The test data showed that the determination of standard reference material were within the reference range. The relative standard deviation of Hg, As and Cd were 2.9%~8.2%, 1.2%~5.6% and 3.4%~6.8%. The detection limit, precision and accuracy of the methods met the requirements of the determination of soil.
