Description
Summary:International audience A method for U-Th isotopic analysis dedicated to saline and geothermal, including Si-rich waters has been performed. It involves a chemical separation step using a Chelex 100® resin, then a further U and Th purification step involving a specific UTEVA® resin. Both elements are analyzed together on a MC/ICP-MS. This method has been successfully applied to different water samples (Bouillante, French Guadalupe Vendée, France Iceland geothermal waters).
