Rare Earth Element Concentrations in the Natural Water Reference Materials (NRCC) NASS‐5, CASS‐4 and SLEW‐3

The rare earth element and yttrium concentrations of the NRCC reference materials North Atlantic Surface seawater, NASS‐5; Coastal Atlantic Surface Seawater, CASS‐4; and the estuarine water, SLEW‐3 have been precisely determined by ICP‐MS after ca. 1:8 preconcentration following a triple chelation u...

Description
Summary:The rare earth element and yttrium concentrations of the NRCC reference materials North Atlantic Surface seawater, NASS‐5; Coastal Atlantic Surface Seawater, CASS‐4; and the estuarine water, SLEW‐3 have been precisely determined by ICP‐MS after ca. 1:8 preconcentration following a triple chelation using HDEHP (phosphoric acid 2‐ethylhexyl ester ‐mono and di ester mixture) in heptane, and back extraction in nitric acid. We propose reference values with uncertainties for all naturally occurring lanthanides and yttrium.
