Abstract
Trace element abundances in the igneous rocks are important data for petrogenetic interpretation. Their concentrations are generally measured using ICP-MS from the dissolved solution. The acid digestion of rock powder can be performed by conventional teflon vial or pressure bomb. In this paper, we investigated a problem that happened during acid digestion experiment using conventional teflon vial or pressure bomb of BCR2 and GSP2 USGS rock standard materials. The results show that the measured concentrations of the elements like Cr, Ni, Zn, Ta, W in the BCR2 are different from the recommended values of USGS whereas those of the elements like Rb, Sr, Zr, Hf, Ta, W in the GSP2 are different from those values. Our experiment shows that defect of specific elements like Cr, Ni may happen during the sample digestion. Our results also indicate that the Cr, Ni, W, Zr, Hf, Ta concentration obtained based on an acid digestion of geological samples need to be careful in their geochemical interpretation.
