Abstract
A new multielement certified reference material of tungsten concentrate (GSO 11541–2020) – wolframitehubnerite concentrate (hard-alloyed), KVG(T) was developed. Its metrological characteristics were established via results of interlaboratory experiment. The analytical results were obtained at the testing laboratories of 13 scientific and manufacturing organizations of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan using single-element chemical analysis methods (gravimetric, spectrophotometry, atomic absorption spectrometry, etc.), as well as modern multielement methods (atomic emission spectrometry with arc discharge or inductively coupled plasma, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry). The mass fraction values for ten elements certified; for eleven elements recommended; and for 39 elements, as well as hygroscopic and crystallization water, are given as information data. This CRM is intended for certification and validation of single and multielement methods, as well as quality assurance in analysis of the ores and products of their processing in mining, metallurgical, and chemical industries and in scientific research. The information potential of GSO 11541–2020 is higher than that of imported reference materials.
