R. Wei et al., MULTIELEMENT PROFILING ANALYSIS OF LAKE BAIKAL BORING CORE SEDIMENT SAMPLES FOR ELUCIDATION OF PALEOENVIRONMENT, Analytical sciences, 13, 1997, pp. 419-420
Multielement profiling analysis was carried out for the 100-m sediment
core samples from Lake Baikal to elucidate the paleo-environment. The
samples were decomposed by a fusion method using LiBO2, and major, mi
nor, and trace elements were determined by ICP-AES and ICP-MS. About 5
0 kinds of elements were determined, and the vertical distributions of
the elements obtained for the core samples showed some characteristic
features.
