QUANTITATIVE SPECTROGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF THE RARE EARTH ELEMENTS. IX. DETERMINATION OF RARE EARTH IMPURITIES COMMONLY ASSOCIATED WITH PURIFIED SAMARIUM, GADOLINIUM, TERBIUM, AND YTTRIUM

Journal Article · · Spectrochimica Acta (England) Divided into Spectrochim. Acta, Part A and Spectrochim. Acta, Part B
Emission spectrometric methods are described for the following quantitative detetminations: neodymnium and gadolinium in sacaarium; neodymium, samarium, terbium, europium, yttrium, dysprosium, and holmaum in gadolinium; samarium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, and erbium in yttrium; and samarium, gadolindum, yttrium, and dysprosium in terbium. These methods cover the concentration rang from the detection limit up to 1 per cent. The basic tion of rare earth oixde -graphite mixtures, utilizing unique similarity in excitation behavior of many of the rare earths to provide a high degree of internal standardization. The coefficient of variation is less than plus or minus 5 per ceri in all instances. (auth)
