Schneider, David L. | Palmieri, Julianne M.
A method is described to measure rare-earth elements (REE) in natural water samples. An iron hydroxide precipitation followedby ion-exchange chromatography is used to concentrate and separate the REE from other matrix components. Additionally, therare-earth elements themselves ar separated into the fractions using an organic acid with a second cation column. Instrumentaldetection is by isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) using either thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) orinductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Excellent precision is shown by many duplicate and replicate analyses.Blanks are 1-2% or less of samples.
