Abstract

Analytical results are reported for a dc arc method of quantitative spectrochemical analysis for major and minor elements in silicate rocks. The procedure involves a fusion method of sample preparation with lithium metaborate as flux. Analysis elements are Si, Al, Fe, Mg, Ca, Ti, Mn, and Ba.
