Zn,Cu,Al and Mg in lead concentrates were determined by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry(ICP-OES).The samples were dissolved with HNO_3,HCl and HF,and matrix matching method was used.The detection limits for Zn,Cu,Al and Mg are in the range of 0.0021%~0.0017%,and recoveries for four elements are 92.2%~107.8%with RSD<1%.The method is accurate, rapid and convenient,and can meet the requirements of commodity inspection with satisfactory results.
