In this work, the Total-Reflection X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis techniq
ue, induced by Synchrotron Radiation (SRTRA), was used to determine tr
aces of elements in ice bicrystals. Samples were obtained from a 10(-2
) M water solution of HOK. The concentrations of K (Z = 19) in small v
olumes (< 5 mu l) of the ice bicrystals were measured. With these valu
es of concentration the effective distribution coefficient K-eff was e
stimated.
