Abstract: The determination of the rare and valuable rubidium and cesium is of crucial importance for their exploring and development.Methods for determining rubidium and cesium in waters with high concentration salt(salt lake brine,underground brine,and oilfield water) were introduced,in which the spectrum methods for rubidium and cesium in salt lake brine were focused on.It was described in detail that the Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy(AAS),Inductively Coupled Plasma- Atomic Emission Spectrometry(ICP-AES),X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry(X-RFS),and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry(ICP-MS) were used in the analysis of rubidium and cesium in brine.The electrochemical analysis and chemical analysis for rubidium and cesium were also introduced. And the trend and future topics for analysis of rubidium and cesium were prospected.

Key words: salt lake brine, rubidium, cesium, detection methods
