Whole-rock geochemistry and crystal chemistry of apatite at intrusive suites of the Qeynarjeh-Angouran district (west of Zanjan): an approach to the identification of skarn-causati... by Afsoon Dastour, Ebrahim Tale Fazel, Ashraf Torkian

“….%) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS), ELAN DRC-e model for identification of minor and rare earth elements (in terms of ppm). Digestion of samples (approximately 50 mg) has been done in two steps: 1) by 6 ml of HCl acid (37% concentration), 2 ml of HNO3 acid (65% concentration), and 1 ml of HF acid (concentration 38-40 percent), and 2) the destruction of the remaining refractor minerals by adding 6 ml of B(OH)3 acid (concentration 5%). …”
