Description
Summary:2136 (1995)] for �48 hours at 230°C. After dissolution, the PGEs were isolated from one another and the bulkrock matrix by anion-exchange chromatography [M. Rehkämper and A. N. Halliday, Talanta 44, 663 (1997)]. The pure PGE fractions were then analyzed with a Plasma 54 multiple-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer [A. N. Halliday et al., Int. J. Mass Spectrom. Ion Processes 146/147, 21 (1995)]. Multiple analysis of Iceland basalt sample BTHO and Alexo komatiite sample KAL-1 demonstrate that our techniques achieve external reproducibilities of �1.5 to 9 % for the PGEs in the concentration range from parts per billion to parts per trillion. Duplicate analysis of two peridotite samples (OMX-8 and C235A) indicate a somewhat lower reproducibility (�15%), probably owing to the heterogeneity
