Upon dissolution, the excess hydrofluoricacid is expelled. Aqua regia and lanthanum chloride are addedand
7、 the solution is diluted to a specific volume. Palladiumconcentration is determined by atomic absorption spectropho-tometry. Absorbance of the samples is bracketed using a set ofnarrow range, matrix matched standards. A second sample,taken at the same time as the analysis sample, is used todetermine
