“…Nobias shows extremely low affinity towards alkaline metals [ 17 ] combined with almost quantitative sorption of transition metals in pH 5–6 [ 18 ] while the affinity is decreased significantly in pH < 4 [ 19 , 20 ]. REE metals show quantitative sorption in a similar pH range to the transition metals [ 21 ] but extend this property to more acidic conditions: pH 4.2 was successfully reported [ 13 ] and even pH 2.5 is suitable for efficient sorption [ 22 ], which is consistent for scandium in the present results ( Figure 1 ). Thus, this pH value seems to be optimal, taking into consideration the sorption efficiency and simultaneous impurity removal.…”

The rapid increase in applications of scandium isotopes in nuclear medicine requires new efficient production routes for these radioisotopes. Recently, irradiations of calcium in cyclotrons by α, deuteron, and proton beams have been used. Therefore, effective post-irradiation separation and preconcentration of the radioactive scandium from the calcium matrix are important to obtain the pure final product in a relatively small volume. Nobias resin was used as a sorbent for effective separation of 44Sc from calcium targets. Separation was performed at pH 3 using a column containing 10 mg of resin. Scandium was eluted with 100 μL of 2 mol L−1 HCl. Particular attention was paid to the reduction of calcium concentration, presence of metallic impurities, robustness and simple automation. 44Sc was separated with 94.9 ± 2.8% yield, with results in the range of 91.7–99.0%. Purity of the eluate was confirmed with ICP-OES determination of metallic impurities and >99% chelation efficiency with DOTATATE, followed by >36 h radiochemical stability of the complex. A wide range of optimal conditions and robustness to target variability and suspended matter facilitates the proposed method in automatic systems for scandium isotope separation and synthesis of scandium-labeled radiopharmaceuticals.

“…The standard curve was built using the ICP multielemental standard solution at six concentrations 1.0; 2.0; 5.0; 10.0; 20.0; and 50.0 μ g/L. The content of each element was calculated based on the standard curves established under the same conditions [ 30 – 35 ]. An Agilent 7900 ICP-MS instrument (Agilent Technologies, Tokyo, Japan) was utilized for the measurement of 40 elements in the soybean samples, which were 11 B, 24 Mg, 27 Al, 28 Si, 44 Ca, 45 Sc, 47 Ti, 55 Mn, 56 Fe, 59 Co, 60 Ni, 63 Cu, 66 Zn, 69 Ga, 75 As, 78 Se, 85 Rb, 88 Sr, 89 Y, 90 Zr, 93 Nb, 95 Mo, 103 Rh, 137 Ba, 139 La, 159 Tb, 163 Dy, 165 Ho, 169 Tm, 175 Lu, 178 Hf, 181 Ta, 182 W, 185 Re 197 Au, 202 Hg, 205 Tl, 208 Pb, 232 Th, and 238 U.…”

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) analytical method was used to determine the content of 40 elements in 38 soybean samples (Glycine Max) from 4 countries. Multivariate statistical methods, such as principal components analysis (PCA), were performed to analyze the obtained data to establish the provenance of the soybeans. Although soybean is widely marketed in many countries, no universal method is used to discriminate the origin of these cereals. Our study introduced the initial step to the identification of the geographical origin of commercial soybean marketed in Vietnam. The analysis pointed out that there are significant differences in the mean of 33 of the 40 analyzed elements among 4 countries’ soybean samples, namely, 11B, 27Al, 44Ca, 45Sc, 47Ti, 55Mn, 56Fe, 59Co, 60Ni, 63Cu, 66Zn, 69Ga, 75As, 78Se, 85Rb, 88Sr, 89Y, 90Zr, 93Nb, 95Mo, 103Rh, 137Ba, 163Dy, 165Ho, 175Lu, 178Hf, 181Ta, 182W, 185Re, 197Au, 202Hg, 205Tl, and 208Pb. The PCA analysis showed that the soybean samples can be classified correctly according to their original locations. This research can be used as a prerequisite for future studies of using the combination of elemental composition analysis with statistical classification methods for an accurate provenance establishment of soybean, which determined a variation of key markers for the original discrimination of soybean.

“…Analytical techniques e.g., instrumental neutron activation analysis [7], inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry [8], inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) [9,10] and laser ablation ICP-MS (LA-ICP-MS) [11,12] are used to measure multi-elements from environmental samples. ICP-MS is a powerful and rapid technique with high sensitivity and a low detection limit (ng/L).…”

A Microwave Digestion Technique for the Analysis of Rare Earth Elements, Thorium and Uranium in Geochemical Certified Reference Materials and Soils by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry

et al. 2020

Two different digestion methods—microwave digestion (Mw) and Savillex digestion (Sx)—were used to evaluate the best quality control for analysis of the rare earth elements, Th and U in the geochemical certified reference material JSd-2, supplied by the Geological Survey of Japan (GSJ). The analysis of trace elements was carried out using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The digestion recovery was > 90% for almost all elements by both methods. Mw-4 (four repeats of the microwave digestion) was found to be more effective and faster than Sx. In order to evaluate the efficiency of Mw-4, three other GSJ certified reference materials, JLk-1, JB-1 and JB-3, as well as five different soil samples from Belarus, Japan, Serbia and Ukraine were also analyzed. The Mw-4 method was seen to be promising for complete digestion and recovery of most of the elements. The U/Th ratio showed some heterogeneity for Ukraine and Serbia soils affected by Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident and depleted uranium contamination, respectively. This method can be successfully applied to any type of soils for elemental analyses.
