Yk. Xiao et al., PRECISE MEASUREMENT OF CHLORINE ISOTOPES BASED ON CS2CL-SPECTROMETRY(BY THERMAL IONIZATION MASS), Analytical letters, 28(7), 1995, pp. 1295-1304
An improved procedure for precise measurement of chlorine isotope rati
os in geological samples based on Cs2Cl+ ion by thermal ionization mas
s spectrometry is reported. Using this procedure the Cl-37/Cl-35 ratio
of NIST SRM 975 is determined to be 0.318929 +/- 0.000028(1 sigma) wi
th a precision of 0.009%(1 sigma). The procedure has been successfully
applied to study the variation of chlorine isotopic compositions in s
eawater and to determine atomic weight of chlorine.
