Trace Element Analysis of Geological Materials (Chemical Analysis: A Series of Monographs on Analytical Chemistry and Its Applications) (Volume 51)

Covers the entire sequence of processes necessary in the analysis of geological materials for trace elements. It provides: sampling techniques and physical and chemical methods of sample pretreatment; methods of chemical attack and of separation techniques including ion exchange, solvent extraction, coprecipitation, volatilization, and chromatographic methods; information on elemental abundance data and standard rock materials.
