Determination of rhenium in environmental samples by ICP-MS

  • 1. National Inst. of Radiological Sciences, Chiba (Japan)

Description

A simple separation method for Re determination in rock and seawater samples by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has been developed. An extraction chromatographic resin (TEVA resin, Eichrom Ind. Inc.) was employed to separate Re from sample matrices and trace elements that cause isobaric interference during ICP-MS measurements. Total average yields were 94±3% for rock and soil samples and almost 100% for water samples. The method was applied to trace-level Re determination in standard igneous rock and seawater samples. The measured Re values were 0.05 - 4.0 ng/g for the rock samples and 6.3 - 12.7 pg/mL for the seawater samples. (author)
