EVALUATION OF INFRARED ABSORBTION SPECTROSCOPY FOR QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF ROCKS

THE INFRARED ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY FOR THE MODAL ANALYSIS OF THE CONSTITUENTS OF ROCKS IS DISCUSSED. IT IS QUICKER THAN THE CUSTOMARILY USED POINT-COUNT METHOD. HOWEVER, IT PRESENTS THREE PROBLEMS: /1/ THE CHOICE OF A SUITABLE INTERNAL STANDARD, /2/ THE PROBLEM OF SAMPLE PREPARATION, AND /3/ THE COMPUTATION OF THE RESULTS. THE AUTHOR CONCLUDES THAT, WHILE THE METHOD HAS POSSIBILITIES, IT NEEDS FURTHER REFINEMENT BEFORE IT IS SUITABLE FOR A ROUTINE MODAL ANALYSIS. /SOURCE/
