    Abstract
  • HIGHLIGHTS
    (1) The principle of treating tin ore by ammonium iodide melting to digest insoluble SnO2 can be used to determine the symbiotic and associated elements in cassiterite.
    (2) The reaction rate of ammonium iodide with cassiterite is improved using high purity platinum wire as the catalyst.
    (3) The accuracy of the method is verified by comparison with the alkali fusion method.
    BACKGROUNDTin ore is a hard-to-decompose mineral. The main form is cassiterite (SnO2), and there are many symbiotic and associated elements. The commonly used acid-digestion method can barely dissolve SnO2, making it difficult for accurate measurement of symbiotic and associated elements in tin ore.
    OBJECTIVESTo decompose the tin ore completely, and accurately determine the symbiotic and associated trace elements in ore.
    METHODSHydrogen iodide can be produced in a non-aqueous state during the melting of ammonium iodide at a lower temperature, and the acidity of hydrogen iodide and the reductive decomposition of SnO2 by ammonia, and Sn separation by the sublimation of SnI4 which is the basis of the study. Under the catalysis of a high purity platinum, ammonium iodide was used to decompose cassiterite for 30 minutes in a Maffer furnace at 450℃. Tin was removed in the form of SnI4 with a removal rate of 98%. The residue was dissolved by 2 mL HF and 1 mL HNO3 using pressurized acid digestion. Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used to accurately determine 24 elements in tin ore.
    RESULTSThe element detection limits are from 0.001 to 2.9 μg/g, and more than 90% of the elements have a relative standard deviation (RSD) of less than 5%. The relative error is less than 10%.
    CONCLUSIONSThe method solves the problem of tin ore being difficult to decompose, can measure the coexisting metal elements, and is also suitable for determining trace and ultra-trace elements in tin ore with Sn contents between 1.27% and 62.49% and trace elements in tin concentrate.
