Abstract

A spectrochemical method for the determination of major constituents in rocks, minerals, and related materials is described. The samples are fused with lithium or sodium borate and burned with a Stallwood jet in carbon dioxide. Cobalt is used as the internal standard Comparisons with chemically analysed samples show good accuracy and reproducibility.
