Determination of 17 Elements in 20 Canadian Mineral Waters by Evaporation and Systematic Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis

Abstract

Mean concentrations of Ba, Br, Ca, Cl, Co, Cs, Cu, I, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Sb, Sr,V, U and Zn determined in 20 samples of mineral waters from Canada, were equal to 74, 2.7, 23700, 1390, 0.28, 0.22, 39, 2.2, 802, 5430, 18, 2240, 0.14, 123, 0.35, 1.1 and 312 ppm resp. Vanadium, Mn, Co, Br, Sb, I, Cs and U could be detected at better than ppb level.
