Digestion method for silver accumulated in micro-organisms.
Silver is accumulated to high concentrations in certain microbial strains. Here a bomb digestion method is proposed, using HNO3 and HCl, for the extraction and digestion of silver and silver compounds from the organic matrix. The method is applicable for the quantitative determination of silver by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy.
