Description

The vertical migration of elements was studied in a model area of the Zelivka river basin. The VRS 2 Zeiss GDR analyzer, connected to automatic processor KSR 4 100, were used for the study of concentration variations. Soil samples were taken from bore holes drilled to a depth of the solid bedrock (0 to 6 m). The contents of SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, K2O, CaO, TiO2, P2O5 and MnO were determined in concentration ranges from 10-2 to 101%. The method was tested in comparative measurements against conventional methods of chemical analysis. (author)
