Recent Trends in Inexpensive Lithium Isotopic Analysis
- Lithium exists in two stable isotopes, 6Li and 7Li. The ratio of these in every ore varies depending on the geological history of the sample, thus providing a tool for fingerprinting the distinct origin of Li containing samples. Determination of the exact isotope ratio for e.g. designation of provenance today relies on expensive and bulky instrumentation such as multi `collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry` (MC-ICP-MS). These instruments, however, are known to bear pitfalls in the characterization of particular elements including Lithium. BAM recently developed two alternative analytical devices for this task, solely relying on inexpensive optical spectroscopy in combination with state-of-the-art multivariate data analysis such as Machine learning algorithms. Both techniques have been comprehensively studied using certified reference materials and comparing the results to MC-ICP-MS results and could be shown to result in comparable figures of merit, paving the way forLithium exists in two stable isotopes, 6Li and 7Li.

The results also pave the way towards even further simplification of the laboratory infrastructure demands and to further include additional elements into the isotopic fingerprinting methodology.…
