The invention relates to a method for measuring silver,
boron and
tin in a geochemical exploration sample, for solving the problems of poor
accuracy and precision while
boron,
tin and silver in soil are measured simultaneously in the original method; instruments, equipment and reagents are as follows: a
grating spectrograph, an automatic
photometer, an
electrode, a spectrum sensitive plate, an agate
mortar, a
buffering agent and CdO, wherein the automatic
photometer is connected to a computer; the
electrode comprises an upper
electrode and a lower electrode; the upper electrode is a conical
graphite electrode; the lower electrode is 6 mm in outside
diameter and is provided with a ring-shaped cup
graphite electrode; the ring cup
graphite electrode is 2 mm in ring height, 6 mm in ring outside
diameter, 4 mm in hole inside
diameter, 12.5 mm in hole depth, 13 mm in cup height, 5.2 mm in cup outside diameter, 4.0 mm in neck height and 3.5 mm in
neck diameter; the
mass percentage of the
buffering agent is that mKI:mK2S207:mSiO2:mC:mZnO is 24:20:48:7:1; 0.015% of CdO is additionally added; a specimen is weighed; 0.0500 g of
buffering agent is weighed and put into a
crucible; after being stirred for one minute, the mixture is put into the electrode and subjected to pressing,
spectrograph, development and photographic fixing; the automatic
photometer translates a spectrum and analyzes
internal standard line pairs as follows: Ag328.07 nm / Cd326.1 nm, B249.7 nm / Si249.4 nm, and Sn317.51 nm / Cd326.1 nm; a
standard curve is automatically fit; the content of individual elements in a sample is automatically calculated.
