Determination of Copper Cadmium and Iron in Metal Cyanide Waste Solutions by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy

Abstract

The chemical literature lacks a specific analytical method to determine cooper, cadmium, and iron in metal cyanide waste solutions which is needed to optimize the treatment and disposal of these metals. A specific method is presented in this report that provides acceptable analysis of these metals in this treatment process. The concentrations of these metals range from 0 to 500 ppm for these solutions, and the resulting precisions are in the range of 0.5 to 35 ppm. These results are supported by six years of testing.
