Abstract
In countless modern geochemical studies, diverse biological and geologic samples are analyzed for Sr, Nd, and Pb isotopic composition. Such heterogeneity presents challenges for a “one-size-fits-all” approach to sample preparation, necessitating customization of sample preparation and chromatographic separation methods. We present (1) digestion techniques for low-Nd silicates, carbonatites, carbonates, water, plant and wood material, organic soils, aerosols collected via filtration, as well as archaeological samples (alloys, teeth, and bones) (2) a column chromatographic approach for samples with low concentrations (large amounts of a matrix) and (3) method verification via replicate analyses of a wide variety of isotopic standards.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Geosciences is an international peer-reviewed journal published by the Czech Geological Society with support from the Czech Geological Survey. It accepts high-quality original research or review papers dealing with all aspects of the nature and origin of igneous and metamorphic rocks. The Journal focuses, mainly but not exclusively, on:
-Process-oriented regional studies of igneous and metamorphic complexes-
Research in structural geology and tectonics-
Igneous and metamorphic petrology-
Mineral chemistry and mineralogy-
Major- and trace-element geochemistry, isotope geochemistry-
Dating igneous activity and metamorphic events-
Experimental petrology and mineralogy-
Theoretical models of igneous and metamorphic processes-
Mineralizing processes and mineral deposits.
All the papers are written in English, even though they may be accompanied by an additional Czech abstract. Each contribution is a subject to peer review by at least two independent reviewers, typically at least one from abroad. The Journal appears 2 to 4 times a year. Formally it is divided in annual volumes, each of them including 4 issues.
