contents Sample preparation technique is critical for valid chemical analyses. A main source of error comes from the fact that the great specific surface area of crusts or nodules enhances their tendency to retain or attract hygroscopic moisture. Variable treatment of this moisture can in extreme cases lead to analytical value differences as great as 40-50 %. In order to quantify these influences, samples of ferromanganese oxide-phosphorite pavement from the Blake Plateau have been subjected to various drying techniques before analysis using X-ray fluorescence.
