چکیده
A determinação de elementos terras raras (REE) em catalisadores gastos provenientes da indústria de petróleo é proposta. Foram testados três procedimentos de tratamento de amostra, um sem adição de HF e outros dois usando diferentes quantidades de HF e ácido bórico, além de uma etapa de evaporação assistida por radiação micro-ondas para dissolução dos fluoretos de REE. O meio contendo 1,0 mL de HF e 8,0 mL de ácido bórico foi eficiente para promover a completa digestão da amostra. Estudos foram realizados usando uma célula de reação para redução de interferências por íons poliatômicos para quatro elementos por espectrometria de massas com plasma acoplado indutivamente (ICP-MS). Material de referência certificado, TDB-1, foi utilizado para avaliar a exatidão do método aplicado a dez amostras de catalisadores. O procedimento proposto é rápido, eficiente e apresentou exatidão e precisão adequadas para 14 dos 16 analitos determinados. Testes de adição e recuperação apresentaram valores entre 87% e 101%.

متن کاملOn-line preconcentration with a novel alkyl phosphinic acid extraction resin coupled with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry for determination of trace rare earth elements in seawater.
A newly synthesized alkyl phosphinic acid resin (APAR) was used for on-line preconcentration of trace rare earth elements (REES, lanthanides including yttrium) and then determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. REEs in seawater could be on-line concentrated on the APAR packed column (4.6mm i.d.x50mm in length), and eluted from the column with 0.5mL 0.1molL(-1) nitric acid with...
