title: Determination of thallium at subtrace level in rocks and minerals by coupling differential pulse anodic-stripping voltammetry with suitable enrichment methods.
abstract: Ten international reference samples have been analysed for thallium content by differential pulse anodic-stripping voltammetry. Two separation techniques, solvent extraction and ion-exchange, were employed to preconcentrate the thallium: the results were critically compared to establish which was the better separation technique. The values found were quite satisfactory and confirmed the wide scope for application (not yet fully investigated) of voltammetry in geochemical studies.
