| Abstract: | This study reports the results of thirteen rare-earth elements in thirty geochemical reference samples. Three alkali (K, Rb, Cs) and two alkaline earth (Sr, Ba) elements were also determined in eighteen reference samples. The analytical procedure involved is based on spiked samples and later measurement of the rare-earth elements by high-performance liquid chromatography and the alkalies and alkaline earths by thermo-quartz mass spectrometric isotope dilution (THQ-MSID). Whenever possible, the results are compared with literature values. |
