Determination of Sr Isotopic Composition of Rock Standards by Thermal Ionisation Mass Spectrometry
The strontium isotope ratios for a carbonated strontium isotope standard SRM 987 and four rock samples BCR-2,BHVO-2,JLs-1,and GBW07127 have been determined by using the Triton XT thermal ionisation mass spectrome-ter provided by the Shandong Institute of Geological Sciences.To correct for mass fractionation,an exponential law with 88Sr/86Sr=8.375209 has been employed,while 87Rb/85Rb=0.385041 has been used to correct for isobaric interference.The obtained 87Sr/86Sr ratios for SRM 987,BCR-2,BHVO-2,and JLs-1 are 0.710252±0.000011(n=40,2SD),0.705016±0.000011(n=10,2SD),0.703471±0.000011(n=10,2SD),and 0.707825±0.000014(n=10,2SD),respec-tively.the results are consistent with the recommended values and the previously published literature.inthis study,we re-port the 87Sr/86Sr ratio of carbonatite standard GBW07127,which results in 0.708971+0.000023(n=20,2SD).This data enriches the current strontium isotope library of the national standard material,and it can provideimportant data references for the analytical study of geochemistry.
