Selecting the reference materials such as soil, stream sediments, rocks of national first-class standard material, ultrabasic rocks and clay, the method applies high dilution ratio (14:1) of mixed solvent to sample mass for fusion sample preparation and fits the calibration curve. Through Eagon2 automatic high frequency inductance fusion machine, 7.0000 g of mixed solvent (45Li

The above fusion method can ensure that the components to be measured are completely melted and the sample surface is smooth and flat. Verified by national standard substances, the accuracy and precision of test results are in line with the requirements of
Quality Management Code for Laboratory Testing of Geology and Mineral Resources (DZ/T 0130-2006).
