Abstract
A brine sample and two deposit samples of a salt lake in China were an alyzed for their contents of lanthanoids (Ln's), thorium and uranium b y neutron activation analysis. Five Ln's were determined at sub ppb le vels. Th and U contents were at about the same levels as those of Ln's . The lanthanoid abundance patterns (Ln pattern) of the three samples are similar to each other, each having a negative slope in the light L n region. There seems no substantial difference in distribution betwee n the solution (brine) and solid (deposit) phases among Ln's.
