Abstract
PIXE (Particle Induced X-ray Emission) analysis has been performed on aerosols emitted by a vent opened near the crater of the volcano Lonquimay in the Southern part of Chile. Contents of eight major elements have been obtained from samples collected in the early stage of the eruption in sites within 20 kilometers from the vent. Results indicate Al, Si, Ca, and Fe as the most abundant elements in proportions comparable with chemical and X-ray diffraction studies on ash and bombs.
