Fusion of Sr/sup 2+/saturated clay with K/sub 2/S/sub 2/O/sub 7/ resulted in a sample that lent itseif to the accurate determination of Sr/sup 2+/ by x-ray emission spectrometry. Matrix effects occasioned by variable clay composition were negligible. The method gave CEC values in close agreement with those obtained by Ca/sup 2+/-saturation. Details of the method are given.
