Abstract

The low recovery of silver in the analysis of environmental water samples has been experienced for a long time. The major cause was postulated to be due to chloride in the sample that causes precipitation of silver chloride. A modified procedure in which the sample was taken to dryness during acid digestion was proposed to remove chloride. Analysing a surface water sample and a photographic wastewater sample validated this modified procedure.
