  • Title: On-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.

    Abstract:
    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 within 30s. An enrichment factor of nearly 400 was achieved for all REEs when the seawater sample volume was 200mL, while the matrix and coexisting spectrally interfering ions such as barium, tin and antimony could be simultaneously separated. The detection limits of this proposed method for REEs were in the range from 1.43pgL(-1) of holmium to 12.7pgL(-1) of lanthanum. The recoveries of REEs were higher than 97.9%, and the precision of the relative standard deviation (R.S.D., n=6) was less than 5%. The method has been applied to the determination of soluble REEs in seawater.
