ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention comprises a method of detecting the presence of a chemical component in an off-shore liquid such as sea water. A stream of the liquid is subjected to passage there- through of a chemically inert carrier gas, whereby the chemical component contained in the stream, and any particulate matter associated therewith, is entrained by the gas. The gas, en- trained component, and particulate material (if any) are removed from the liquid; and the particulate material is separated from the gas and chemical component. The gas and chemical component are then passed into a plasma, and the light emitted therefrom spectroscopically examined. The method has considerable ad- vantages over conventional techniques for the detection of chemicals in off-shore liquids, which have generally required the study of on-shore deposits. Furthermore, the present invention is particularly useful in the detection of uranium and related minerals, whereas the prior-art techniques are ineffective for the detection of such materials under large bodies of liquid, such as sea water.
