Bromine-methanol dissolution, which is mainly used in analysis of metallurgical specimens, has been applied to geological samples. It has been established that a solution of bromine-methanol dissolves sulphides and arsenides very selectively but attacks silicates and oxides only slightly. An exception is pyrite, of which merely 7 to 8 °/o is dissolved under the conditions defined in the analytical instructions.
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.
