Abstract

Trace elements in oil may be determined by adsorption of the oil sample onto maguesium oxide followed by thermal degradation of the organic material. The resulting powder is easily pressed into a pellet suitable for X-ray spectrometric analysis. The lower limit of detection depends upon the trace impurities in the MgO and is a few parts per million for most elements determined.
