A palladium content of 0.5% is not a problem. There is an issue with the detection.

Need to
communicate with the testing personnel to understand which step went wrong

① Make a set of standard samples (three to five) for palladium and create a standard curve;

② Dissolve and test the sample;

③ Measure the concentration of the test sample and convert it to the palladium content in the
sample.

Attention: The standard sample for making the standard curve should have the same alumina
concentration as the test sample as the background. The alumina peak can cover a portion of the
palladium peak, and without an alumina background, the palladium concentration will be lower

If it's still uncertain, we'll have to switch to the standard addition method, which is a bit troublesome.

By adding unequal amounts of standard solution to several sample solutions, then the absorbance is
determined according to the steps of drawing the standard curve, the absorbance-addition
concentration curve is plotted, and finally the concentration of the sample solution is obtained by
extrapolation. This method is often used to calibrate and verify the accuracy of analytical methods.

Specific steps of the standard accession method

Prepare standard solutions: Prepare a series of standard solutions of different concentrations


depending on the analyte to be determined.

Sample solution preparation: Prepare the sample solution to be tested.

Add standard solution: Add different amounts of standard solution to several sample solutions to
ensure that the concentration of standard solution in each sample is different.

Determination of absorbance: Determine the absorbance of each sample solution using a


spectrophotometer or other spectroscopic instrument.

Draw the standard curve: Draw the standard curve with the concentration of the standard solution as
the abscissa and the absorbance as the ordinate.

Extrapolation calculation: The absorbance of the standard solution without the addition of the
standard solution is estimated from the standard curve by extrapolation, and then the concentration
of the sample solution is calculated.
