    The document outlines a procedure for trace level analysis of elements in samples using aqua regia digestion and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). It lists many elements, their symbols, detection units, and lower and upper detection limits.

    A prepared sample is digested with aqua regia for 45 minutes and then analyzed using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES).

    Page 1 lists elements Ag to Zn, page 2 continues the list from Fe to Zn-OG46, and page 3 completes the list from Ce to Zr.

    Geochemical Procedure

    ME-ICP41

    Trace Level Methods Using Conventional ICP-AES Analysis

    Sample Decomposition:

    HNO3 – HCl Aqua Regia Digestion (GEO-AR01)

    Analytical Method:

    Inductively Coupled Plasma - Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP - AES)

    A prepared sample (0.50 g) is digested with aqua regia for 45 minutes in a graphite heating block.
    After cooling, the resulting solution is diluted to 12.5 mL with deionized water, mixed and analyzed
    by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry. The analytical results are corrected for
    inter-element spectral interferences.
    NOTE: In the majority of geological matrices, data reported from an aqua regia leach should be
    considered as representing only the leachable portion of the particular analyte.
