An efficient, reliable and low-cost procedure to determine the silicon content in plant material is presented which allows to monitor the agricultural aspects like growth and yield. The presented procedure consists of a hydrochloric acid pre-treatment and a subsequent thermal oxidation. The method is compared to other processes like dissolution in hydrofluoric acid combined with ICP OES, energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (EDXRF) or aqua regia treatment.

Experiments with SF6, NF3, CF4and H2as new modifier gases for the matrix studied were performed. Pre-treatment steps of sub-samples (e.g., roasting) can now be omitted; the scope of application was enlarged to Au and hydride forming elements (such as Se, Te).

A recent surge of interest in sulfur in the environment has revealed the need for improved methods of analysis for sulfate, SO4=, in rain, freshwater and sediment interstitial fluids. Ion chromatography permits the rapid determination of SO4= in the ppm range (1 ppm = 1 mgL'1 = 10 μmol L-1 sulfate) on relatively small samples with good specificity. If a suitable instrument is available, this technique is a good choice for many environmental analyses. Other approaches to sulfate analysis are based on its precipitation with organic or heavy metal cations, usually barium or lead. The amount of precipitate formed may be determined by inter alia gravimetry, turbidimetry, radiometry (using 133-Ba), atomic absorption spectrophotometry (Ba or Pb detection), potentiometry (using a Pb++ ion selective electrode) , colorimetry, or by x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (Ba, Pb or S detection)(1). Because of our experience with x-ray fluorescence analyses, we chose to develop and test a procedure using that technique.

Concentrates from the platiniferous norites of the Bushveld, Transvaal, are not completely soluble in aqua regia. The insoluble portion consists of steel-grey fragments first analysed chemically by R. A. Cooper and considered by him to be a new platinum mineral represented by the formula Pt(As,S)2. The name cooperite was proposed for the new mineral by F. Wartenweiller, and after further work Cooper decided that the arsenic found in the early analysis was due to the presence of sperrylite, and he changed the formula to PtS2. H. Schneiderhöhn observed simple twinning and, less frequently, polysynthetie lamellae on polished sections of mineral grains from the same deposits, and he suggested that cooperite is probably orthorhombic and isomorphous with marcasite. The latest account of the new mineral has been published by H. R. Adam who gave several analyses of cooperite from the Rustenburg and Potgietersrust districts and concluded that the ‘mineral is PtS2 with a small amount of excess metal (platinum, palladium, and nickel) present in solid solution’.
