Abstract:Radioactivation analysis is the only method which allows the determination of individual rare earth element impurities in rare earth elements of high purity. The determination of dysprosium, europium, samarium and gadolinium in yttrium oxide is complicated by the short half-life of165Dy (138 min.) and by the difficulty of separating traces of these elements from the matrix. A chromatographic method has been developed, for the separation of traces of Dy, Eu, Sm and Gd from ytrium, on a column packed with anion exchangerAV-17, by means of elution with 0.1N and 0.3M solutions of EDTA-sodium salt, followed by the separation of the mixture of the rare earth impurities on a microcolumn of cation exchangerKU-2, using a 0.17M solution of ammonium α-hydroxyisobutyrate as the eluent. The sensitivity of the determination of Dy, in the case of irradiating 10 mg of Y2O3 with a flux of 1.2·1013 n·cm−2·sec−1 for 5 min. was 1·10−7%; the corresponding values for Sm, Eu and Gd, when irradiating a 100 mg sample of Y2O3 for 20 hours with the same flux, were 2·10−7%, 1·10−8% and 5·10−6%, respectively.
