X-RAY SPECTROSCOPY OF RARE-EARTH ELEMENTS
Four applications of x-ray spectroscopy to rare earth research are discussed. A method was developed for the determination of rare earth elements in fractions obtained from bastnaesite and euxenite ones. Yttrium, thorium, and the fourteen rare earth elements may be analyzed in complex mixtures of various concentrations. A rapid method for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of rare earth elements in ion exchange elutriants was developed. Special techniques were developed for determining trace amounts of rare earths in high-purity rare earth oxides produced by ion exchange and by liquid-liquid extraction. A method was developed for quautitative determination of impurities in cerium metal. (W.D.M.)
