The results of the determination of Rb, Sr, Cs, Ba, and Pb in K-feldspars by total reflection X-ray fluorescence analysis using 0.05 g sample in mass are presented. Prepared suspensions of the rock Certified Reference Materials and the K-feldspar samples were chosen as the sample preparation method. Studying the particle sizes of the K-feldspar sample powders was carried out. The concentrations of the elements were evaluated using the internal standard method. As internal standard, either a Se solution was added to the sample or the concentration of Rb was preliminary determined or known, have been used. The accuracy of the element determinations was estimated by comparison between obtained and certified values of the elements determined in the Certified Reference Materials of the K-feldspars, such as JF-1 and JF-2.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
