M. Saleem et al., DETERMINATION OF GADOLINIUM AND SAMARIUM IN AQUEOUS-SOLUTION BY X-RAY-FLUORESCENCE SPECTROMETRY, Journal of the Chemical Society of Pakistan, 15(3), 1993, pp. 157-162
A simple X-ray fluorescene (XRF) spectrometric method for the determin
ation of gadolinium and samarium in aqueous solution has been develope
d. The sample solution was introduced to the XRF spectrometer directly
in simple polyethylene bottle. Statistical evaluation helped to estab
lish an analytical application of the method. Effects of various catio
ns and anions on gadolinium and samarium intensity have been studied.
Matrix effects due to these cations and anions have been rectified usi
ng standards of similar composition.
