Evaluation of Dissolution Methods in the Presence of High Chloride Content for the Determination of Germanium in Geological Matrices by Hydride Generation Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

Abstract
The sample dissolution is probably the most crucial step in the determination of germanium in geological and metallurgical samples due to formation of volatile germanium compounds during the course of dissolution. It has been stated that this is especially true for the samples having high sulfide and/or chloride content.TÜBİTA
