Hello Scholars,
I am performing compositional analysis (using ICP-OES) of electroplated Nickel with mild steel (MS) as base substrate. I want to strip Nickel from MS without contaminating the solution with Fe ions. Nitric acid can not be used as it produces iron nitrate. What solution should I use to strip Nickel?
What are the methods to perform compositional analysis of electroplated metal other than ICP-OES and XRF?
Any thought on EDS?
