Chemical and isotopic composition of gas, water, and solids from the 2019-2020 water lake in Halema’uma’u Crater, Kīlauea Volcano, Hawaii: Water Chemistry

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

Samples for water chemistry analysis were filtered to 0.45 µm upon collection. Since the solute-rich samples continued to form precipitates, samples were filtered again immediately prior to analysis if needed. All samples were very rich in solutes and were analyzed at multiple dilutions (1:100 to 1:1000) to match instrument measurement ranges for various analytes. Water chemistry analyses were performed at the U.S. Geological Survey laboratories in Menlo Park, California. The concentrations of fluoride (F-), chloride (Cl-), sulfate (SO42-), and bromide (Br-) in samples were determined by ion chromatography with a Dionex ICS-2000, using a 250 mm Dionex IonPac AS18 column. The concentrations of major cations were determined via inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) using a ThermoScientific ICAP 6500 Duo. A mixed-element standard (produced to spec by High-Purity Standards Inc.) was run at a range of dilutions to calibrate the instrument. Additional cation concentrations, including heavier trace elements, were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS, NExION 300Q, Perkin Elmer) using a method adapted from Garbarino and Taylor (1996). External standards, serially diluted from ultrapure, single-element stock, were used to create calibration curves. References: Garbarino, J.R. and Taylor, H.E., 1996.
