The invention relates to a method for using a
plasma atomic
emission spectrometer to measure impurities in high-purity gold, which comprises the following steps: weighing one unit of sample in a bunsen
beaker, adding
aqua regia to dissolve, replenishing
hydrochloric acid deionized water to do constant volume to a scale after dissolving, respectively getting sample solution in more than two colorimetric tubes, solution in each tube is 15ml, adding
gold standard solution which is mixed by elements according to a
multiple relation in turn, doing constant volume by deionized water, starting the
plasma atomic
emission spectrometer, starting a circulating water pump, opening analytic
control software, entering a '
standard addition method' control procedure, choosing a
spectral line for measuring in a
spectral line base, setting the concentration value of curved lines, scanning a whole band, sucking sample solution in each colorimetric tube in an instrument in turn according to the sequence that the concentration is from low to high, clicking a feeler switch to get an
initial curve point of the point after sucking in each time, assuring curved lines, and leading the
linear coefficient to be more than 0.99, outputting the concentration value result of each determined element, and calculating the result of the percentage content of each determined element according to the calculating formula.
