The <10, <4, <2.5 and <1 µm fractions of eight regolith samples have been extracted as aerosols, then analysed for more than 60 elements by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). Precision and accuracy rivals that of conventional digestion and ICP-MS analysis for most elements, but the aerosol extraction and ablation approach can be completed within 30 min, avoids compromising the sample by screening, column settling, fusion and/or digestion, and includes data for elements such as Br, Cl, I and Se that are conventionally analysed by individual procedures. Major element chemistry and scanning electron microscope (SEM) imagery show that the aerosol fractions of regolith are dominated by kaolinite, with quartz in aeolian regolith. The aerosol fractions of Si- and Ca-rich regolith have higher trace element concentrations than the coarser fraction (0.45–2 mm), but chalcophile elements are depleted in the aerosols of Fe-rich regolith relative to the coarser fraction. Improvements in in-field analytical technology coupled with aerosol extraction mean that fine and ultrafine fraction chemistry can be used to guide mineral exploration programmes in close to real time.Supplementary material: The results of the laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) analysis of filter papers are available at https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.c.4562807

During the last decade, the possible application of laser ablation inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) as a quantitative technique for the analysis of individual fluid inclusions has been intensely studied. The quantitative ability of this technique is, however, complicated by several fractionation processes that operate during ablation, transport and analysis in the ICP-MS. In the present study, a number of these fractionation effects were studied and the quantitative ability of LA-ICP-MS analysis of fluid inclusions in natural quartz is evaluated. Using NIST SRM 612 and 614 as reference materials, it is shown that the fractionation during transport is minimised when the sample cell is flushed with He, in contrast with the set-up where Ar is used. Calcium has been successfully applied as an internal standard to calibrate the REE in NIST-glasses. The use of Ca to calibrate other lithophile and chalcophile elements, such as K, Zn, Cu and Pb, can however be questioned. It is shown that the technique is capable of semi-quantitatively characterising different fluid inclusion populations in natural quartz, which demonstrates its importance as a tool for palaeofluidflow modelling. However, during LA-ICP-MS analysis of fluid inclusions in natural quartz, elements are reprecipitated in a glassy phase, as shown by SEM-EDX analysis of the sample surface after ablation. This process could result in a fractionation and may account for the poor precision of the analysis.

Multi Element Analysis

Recent developments in laser microprobes and the coupling of laser ablation (LA) to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has opened up the possibility for detailed analysis of individual sediment grains and the elucidation of metal association with bulk elements and phases. Here, LA–ICP-MS is used for the micrometer-resolved, multi-element analysis of Pb and bulk elements such as Fe, Mg, Al, and Si. Normalized Pb signals show a clear association to Fe coatings at the surface of the particles.
