Abstract

A novel vortex assisted dispersive liquid-phase microextraction procedure combined with ICP techniques for preconcentration and determination of REEs in water.

A novel sensor for the selective monitoring of trace ytterbium ions using an agarose-based optical membrane

“…7 Ytterbium and other lanthanide oxides are extensively employed in the manufacture of optical glasses, optical bers, gasoline-cracking catalysts, polishing products, and carbon arcs as well as in the iron and steel industries to remove sulphur, carbon, and other electronegative components. 8 Cathodic stripping voltammetry, 9 luminescence spectroscopy, 10 spectrophotometry, 11,12 near-infrared spectroscopy, 13,14 ICP-MS, 15,16 HPLC-ICP-MS, 17 thermal ionization mass spectrometry, 18 ICP-AES, [19][20][21] neutron activation analysis, isotope dilution mass spectrometry, X-ray uorescence spectrometry, [22][23][24] and electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry 25 are typical techniques for detecting Yb 3+ ions in solutions at low levels. However, almost all of them are slow since they require various stages for sample preparation and are costly.…”

Direct determination of lanthanides by LIBS in REE-rich ores: comparison between univariate and DoE based multivariate calibrations with respect to spectral resolution

“…[3][4][5] Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) is a feasible alternative to ICP-MS in some cases. 6,7 However, both techniques require complex sample preparation and equipment, and therefore, cannot be used for rapid analysis outside the laboratory. 8 Instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) possesses the ability to directly detect trace levels of REEs in geological samples and thus used as a reference to ICP-OES/MS.…”

Innovative Use of Carbon Nanotubes in Electrochemical Sensors for the Analysis of Europium in Samples from the Environment

“…Various analytical techniques for the determination of europium are described. These include spectrophotometry, [9][10][11] spectrofluorimetry, 12 neutron activation analysis (NAA), 13 inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP −MS), 14 inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP −AES), 15 inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP −OES), 16 atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) [17][18][19] and luminescence. [20][21][22] These methods are usually time−consuming and require labour−intensive sample pretreatment and expensive equipment.…”
