Abstract

Copper, iridium, platinum and gold content was determined in 15 italian chondritic meteorites by destructive neutron activation analysis. The chemical procedure involves few steps: sample dissolution, group separation of noble metals on inorganic adsorbers and gamma-ray spectrometry. Element content and atomic abundances (Si=10⁶ atoms) are presented and discussed. Precision and accuracy of the analytical method are given as well. Copper, platinum and gold content is within the reported ranges for ordinary chondrites, whereas the iridium content is located on the low side of reported values.
