Activation analysis of rare-earth elements in opium and cannabis samples

Rare earth concentrations in 65 Opium, Cannabis and Cannabis resin samples seized from various parts of world were determined by destructive NAA. Great variations in absolute element concentrations, but only small significant differences of rare earth concentration ratios were found, indicating inconsiderable biogeochemical fractionation. The mean values of these ratios correspond with the relative abundances of the rare earths in the upper continental earth's crust.     

Determination of rare-earth eleemnts in rock samples by neutron activation analysis

A Ge(Li) detector combined with cation exchange separation has been used for the determination of 12 rare-earth elements (La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu) in rock samples by neutron activation analysis. After purification by the conventional hydroxide-fluoride precipitation, the rare-earth elements are separated into two fractions, light (La-Tb) and heavy (Ho-Lu), by EDTA cation exchange, and the γ-activities of the two fractions are measured by a Ge(Li) detector. The heavy rare-earths, such as Ho, Er, and Tm, can be easily γ-counted without serious interference from the intense Compton background and photopeaks due to the light rare-earths such as¹⁴⁰La,¹⁵³Sm,¹⁵²Eu, and¹⁶⁰Tb. The chemical yields (60%) for the individual rare-earths are determined by a reactivation technique. The results obtained for the U.S. Geological Survey standard rocks G-1 and W-1 are compared with the previously reported data.     

Fast neutron activation analysis of rare-earth elements in monazite from Korea

The relative ans single comparator methods have been applied to determine 7 rare-earth elements and U, Th in Korean Monazites by 14.5 MeV neutron activation analysis. The (n, 2n) nuclear reactions are used for all elements except La, for which (n, p) reaction is used. Al is used as a flux monitor for the relative method and as a singlle comparator for the single comparator method. The analytical results obtained by the two methods agree well within 3% deviation except for Sm and Gd. These results are also compared with the result obtained by a single comparator method using reactor neutron.     

Determination of rare-earth elements in steels by radiochemical neutron activation analysis

For the separation of rare-earth elements from steel, with a cation exchange resin, separation experiments were performed on NIST reference materials of SRM-363 and SRM-364. Iron, Na, Cr, Mn, Co, Cu, As, Mo, Sb and W were separated in 2M hydrochloric acid, five rare-earth elements, La, Ce, Pr, Nd and Sm and three other elements, Hf, Zr and Ba were separated using 8M nitric acid. Each element was determined by a single comparator method using two monitors, gold and cobalt.     

Nanosized rare-earth hexaborides: Low-temperature preparation and microstructural analysis

A versatile, rapid and easy synthesis of pure rare-earth-(RE) hexaboride powders was developed, without resorting to hazardous precursors or generating undesired, ineliminable, side products. To this purpose, we employed a metathesis reaction, typically starting from a mixture of a hydrated rare earth trichloride and MgB₂, kept at 650 °C for 1 h under vacuum. This methodology affords nanosized RE hexaborides, with average crystallite (domain) sizes down to a few nanometers, useful for tailoring the functional performances of the MgB₂ superconducting phase produced by the reactive liquid infiltration method. For the powders showing the lowest average domain sizes (YbB₆ and EuB₆), an unconventional microstructural analysis, based on Total Scattering methods and on the Debye Function Approach, was also performed, which provided the complete nanocrystal size distributions.     

Determination of rare earths in rare-earth concentrates by neutron activation analysis

Neutron activation analysis was applied to the determination of La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Yb, Lu and Th in rare-earth concentrates resulting from minerals. High-resolution gamma-ray spectrometry with a Ge(Li) detector was used for the non-destructive determination, and a single comparator method using Co as flux monitor was applied.     

Dust,sand and fish: Neutron activation analysis of rare-earth tags

This paper discusses the advantages of stable-element tags over radioactive ones in studying complex systems outside the laboratory, and illustrates three applications. These are collaborative investigations of atmospheric transport of dust, seabed movement of sand, and long-term survival rates of freshwater fish. All use lanthanide tags, with analysis by instrumental neutron activation. The importance of a high-throughput, inexpensive analytical method is stressed.
