Description

Analysis of δ34S in dissolved sulfate from groundwater samples to identify sulfate reduction processes. Rayleigh fractionation modeling used to quantify biological sulfate reduction with fractionation factor α=1.030.

Typical Equipment

  • isotope ratio mass spectrometer or similar isotopic analysis equipment

Output Measurements

  • δ34S values
  • sulfate reduction rates
  • fractionation trends
