Abstract:
NEUTRON ACTIVATION ANALYSIS OF RARE EARTH ELEMENTS FROM SEPARATE MINERALS IN BAIMA GABBRO FROM PAXI AREA AND THEIR GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICSYang Ruiying(Institute of High Energy Physics,Laboratory of Nuclear Analysis Techniques,the Chinese Academy of Sciences,P. O. Box 2732,Beijing 100080)Abstract:The determination of rare earth elements of 10-9 level in the separate minaral by preconcentration-neatron activation analysis is described.The process includes sample melting and dissolution, quantitative group separation and activity measurement.The obtained results agree quite well with literature values.Keywords:Preconcentration-neutron activation analysis Rare earth element Separate mineral
