GeostandaRef Corner Geochemical Reference Sample Bibliography for 1998

This i s the n ineteenth survey in the ser ies o fGeochemical Reference Sample (GRS) Bibliographypublished in Geostandards Newsletter: The Journal ofGeostandards and Geoanalysis and is designated asPart XIX in the series. Part XIX contains referencesmanually searched from major analytical chemistryand geochemi s t r y jou rna l s tha t have becomeava i lab le to the au tho r be tween January andDecember 1998. A few earlier references, which werenot available at the time of the previous report (PartXVIII), together with those which were inadvertentlyoverlooked, have been also included.

During the current review year, more than 200 refe-rences have been collected. This gives testimony to thevitality of the GRS field. This year, more than 4500 newresults have been reported; compilation data wereignored in this total. It is also interesting to note here

that several journals have reported sets of data in“electronic form” on their web site. More than thirtyJournals have published GRS articles during 1998.Data in Table 1 show the distribution of the GRS refe-rences in the literature. The “Journal of Radioanalyticaland Nuclear Chemistry”, “Geostandards Newsletter:The Journal of Geostandards and Geoanalysis” and“‘Fresenius’ Journal of Analytical Chemistry” are impor-tant media for GRS data communication. If one judgesby the amount of new data, “Geostandards Newsletter:The Journal of Geostandards and Geoanalysis” conti-nues to be the primary source for GRS information.

The majority of papers are concerned with multi-element analyses. Data in Table 2 summarise theanalytical methods most used to report results on GRS.The most prominent position of inductively coupledplasma-spectrometry (both ICP-AES and ICP-MS) in thegeosciences is now firmly established. As can be seen,these techniques are c lear ly pre fer red by manygeoanalytical laboratories for trace element analysis.As usual, there is also strong interest in measurementsby isotope di lut ion mass spec trometry ( IDMS) . Incontrast, although for a long time the workhorse ofgeoanalytical techniques, neutron activation analysis(NAA) has further lost ground. However, it continues to

enjoy important applications for the determination oflow concentrations of “dif f icul t ” t race elements ofgeochemical interest (such as rare earth element (REE),platinum group elements (PGE), Ta, Hf, Th, etc.). In manycases, due to its inherent sensitivity and freedom from“blank” difficulties, it is utilised as a reference analyticalmethod. A significant number of papers involve atomicabsorption spectrometric techniques (flame and graphitefurnace). X-ray fluorescence (XRF) remains the mostpopular tool for major, minor and selected trace elementmeasurements. Colorimetry is still successfully employedand is the subject of several studies. Only four citationsconcerning the use of voltammetry are observed.

Once again, in preparing this annual survey, we havetried to maintain as complete and exhaustive a coverageas possible. However, regrettably, some publications whichhave appeared in 1998 could not be assembled here forwhatever reason (e.g. delay in the publication and deliveryof some issues, inaccessibility of certain journals). Thesereferences will, of course, be included in future contributions.

Presentation of references

The presentation of references, amended to complywith the new Geostandards Newsletter : The Journal ofGeostandards and Geoanalysis reference format, fol-lows the style adopted previously. The reference papershave been classified under three principal headings:

a. New analytical datab. New compilations of “recommended” valuesc. General aspects of GRS.

Within each category, the references are arrangedin alphabetical order with the name of the (first) authoras key word. Each reference quoted consists essentiallyof three parts: key codes, reference itself and comments.

Key Codes

The first line contains four different codes, separa-ted by three slashes.

The first code (2 digits) gives the year of publication.

The second code (3 digits) gives the serial numberof the reference for the year code preceding it.

The third code (2 letters) indicates the type ofsample (first letter) and of analysis (second letter). Thefirst letter gives the type of GRS:

R : RockM : MineralO : OreS : Soil

The second letter, T or M, stands for Trace or Majorelement analysis. The code GG represents generalinformation on GRS such as evaluation of compileddata statistical procedures.

The fourth code (2 letters) designates the methodof analysis:

AA : Atomic absorption spectrometryCG : GravimetryCK : ColorimetryCT : VolumetryFM : Fluorimetry

FX : X-ray fluorescence spectrometryIC : Ion chromatographyIR : Infra-redIS : Specific Ion electrodeME : Electrochemical Methods

MN : Nuclear Methods (mostly neutron activation analysis)

MP : Microprobe analysisSE : Emission spectrometrySG : Photographic emission spectrographySM : Mass spectrometrySP : Plasma spectrometry

TT : Various methods

References

The references are presented with their titles andthe name of the Journal fully developed.

Comments

Comments are brief and in the main provide someessential information not easily extractable from thetitle of the paper.
