Isotope Geochemistry
Isotopic analysis can be performed on minerals, rocks, soil, tissue, gases, and liquids – just about anything. In view of the broad possibilities, we will only cover a few generalities here. In most instances, the element to be analyzed must be first isolated and purified before it can undergo isotopic analysis in a mass spectrometer. Purification is necessary to avoid isobaric interferences an...
متن کاملChapter 5 Geochemistry
One hundred and nineteen samples of clay (n = 42), rock and sand temper (n = 7), and pottery (n = 70) from the various drainages in and around the North Carolina Sandhills were analyzed by instrumental neutron activation analysis (NAA) at the University of Missouri Research Reactor Center (MURR). Here we report the analytical methods and describe some of the chemical patterns identified in the ...
متن کاملArsenic geochemistry and health.
Arsenic occurs naturally in the earth's crust and is widely distributed in the environment. Natural mineralization and activities of microorganisms enhance arsenic mobilization in the environment but human intervention has exacerbated arsenic contamination. Although arsenic is useful for industrial, agricultural, medicinal and other purposes, it exerts a toxic effect in a variety of organisms, ...

متن کاملThe genetics of geochemistry.
Bacteria are remarkable in their metabolic diversity due to their ability to harvest energy from myriad oxidation and reduction reactions. In some cases, their metabolisms involve redox transformations of metal(loid)s, which lead to the precipitation, transformation, or dissolution of minerals. Microorganism/mineral interactions not only affect the geochemistry of modern environments, but may a...
