X-ray spectrometric analysis of silicates in geological samples

  • 1. Zentrales Geologisches Inst., Berlin (German Democratic Republic)

Description

A method for the quantitative X-ray spectral analysis of main and secondary constituents in sediments, metamorphites and magmatites is described, justifying and explaining the preparation of the geological samples by means of dissolution followed by making glass samples. The X-ray spectrometric results were evaluated by an empirical mathematical method using electronic data processing based on Jenkins' model. Results obtained by this rational analytical method are described and compared with rock samples analysed chemically. (author)
