Determination of La,Ce,Pr,Nd,Y,Nb and Zr in Sedimentary Rare-earth Ore by ICP-AES with Sealed Digestion
La,Ce,Pr,Nd,Y,Nb,and Zr were rapidly decomposed in a sealed digestion tank available for para poly-phenylene by HNO3-NH4HF2 at 240 ℃ in sedimentary rare earth ores.H2SO4 was used to drive acid to destroy the rare earth fluoride in the digestion solution,in the medium of 5%HCl-5%tartaric acid,the interference was corrected by optimizing the analytical spectralline and matrix matching.A method for the determination of La,Ce,Pr,Nd,Y,Nb,and Zr in sedimenta-ry rare earth ores by high-pressure closed digestion inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry was established.The method has a higher decomposition temperature,a shorter cycle,and higher efficiency than the traditional closed-vessel digestion method.The results were in agreement with other methods according to the actual sample test analysis.
