THE GEOCHEMISTRY OF THE STABLE ISOTOPES OF CHLORINE

Journal Article · · Geochim. et Cosmo-chim. Acta
BS>A procedure for measuring small differences in Cl/sup 3//sup 7/Cl/sup 3//sup 5/ ratios was developed. It was tested by measuring the chlorine isotope fractionation in the following isotopic exchange reactions: (a) ammonium chloride, hydrogen chloride; b) solid sodium chloride, aqueous chloride ion; (c) chlorine, hydrogen chloride; (d) aqueous hexachloroplatinate (IV), chloride ion. The Cl/sup 3//sup 7/-Cl/sup 3//sup 5/ ratio in eighty-one samples of natural occurrence was investigated. No significant variations in the ratio were observed. The results are discussed in terms of the geochemical cycle of chlorine. (auth)
