In this study, we investigated the concentration of Cl-, ClO4-, and NO3- anions in sand, river sediment, moraine, and loess samples collected from the Taklimakan Desert, Xinjiang, NW China by ion chromatograph (IC). Furthermore, the speciation of Cl was determined for selected samples by the bulk XANES and μ-XRF-XRD-XANES techniques.
