In order to demonstrate the capability of the Epsilon 5 for the analysis of Pt, Pd and Rh in automotive catalysts and recycled slag materials, samples with concentrations of these elements previously determined by fire assay were used to create calibrations on the Epsilon 5.
Accurate determination of platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd) and rhodium (Rh) concentrations in automotive catalysts is critical for developers and producers of automotive catalysts as well as those recycling the end products to reclaim these precious metals.
