Abstract
The reaction of inorganic phosphate and mercuric cyanide at temperatures from 240° to 300°C leads to the quantitative conversion of the phosphate oxygens to carbon dioxide. This report describes the proper conditions for the advantageous use of this reaction for the determination of the oxygen isotope composition of the inorganic phosphate.Keywords
