6、 Method3.1 The test sample is treated with hydrofluoric acid andevaporated to dryness to remove silica;the residue is fusedwith potassium pyrosulfate,and the cooled melt is dissolved in4%H2SO4.A measured excess of 0.01 N potassium iodide(KI)is added to precipitate palladium as palladium iodide(PdI2)
7、.The precipitate is filtered and washed,and a smallamount of sodium sulfite is added to the filtrate to reduce anyfree iodine to iodide.The excess iodide is titrated with 0.01 NAgNO3potentiometrically,using a silver electrode versus acalomel electrode.A second sample taken at the same time isused to
