Abstract

The oxygen isotopic content of natural and heavy water has been determined by mass spectrometric analysis of oxygen gas, produced by direct chemical oxidation using either Na 2S 2O 8 in strongly basic media or ClF 3. The results from the two methods are in good agreement. No evidence for mass independent isotope fractionation effects in deuterium-free water or in heavy water samples from a variety of sources was found. The 17O and 18O content of three IAEA water standards (V-SMOW, GISP and SLAP) are reported.
