In situ Imaging of Multi-elements on Pyrite Using Laser Ablation-Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry

A method of in situ multi-elements 2D imaging on single pyrite was developed using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Different degrees of enrichment or losses of the trace elements on pyrite might be the response of the redox environment during early forming or later secondary reforming process.
