Gold and silver in dross were determined by energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence technique. Sample was prepared by pressed pellet method using microcrystalline cellulosepowder as binder, and a method of standard additions was used for quantification. L_βX-ray of gold (11.4keV)and K_β X-ray of silver (24.9keV) were usedfor analysis. The measured concentrations of gold and silver were 132±8 and 1181±84mgkg^-1, respectively. The results were validated by instrumental neutron activation analysis technique. The t-test indicated that there was no significant difference between results obtained by the two techniques. Energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence is a simple, precise and accurate technique for the determination of gold and silver in dross.
