Determination of major elements in igneous rocks using microwave plasma atomic emission spectrometry (MP-AES)

Geisenblosen, María Cecilia - Oyhantçabal Cironi, Pedro Bernardo - Pistón, Mariela

Resumen:

An analytical method for sample preparation of igneous rocks and subsequent determination of Si, Na, K, Ca, Mg, Al, Fe, Mn, Ba, Sr, and Ti by means of microwave induced emission spectrometry (MP-AES) was developed and validated. The proposed sample preparation procedure avoids the use of perchloric acid and provided accurate results even for silicon determination using an acid digestion with hydrofluoric acid. The determination of major elements in rocks is required for the design of classification diagrams that provides relevant information for geochemical analysis.
