Application of chelation ion chromatography to the determination of lanthanides in agriculture

[摘要] Lanthanides are widely present in soil and plant. In this paper, it is the first time that chelation ion chromatography is applied to analyse lanthanides in a series of samples in agriculture. This technique can eliminate bulk quantity of alkali, alkaline earth metals on chelating concentrator column (MetPac CC-1) and eliminate transition metals on cation exchange column (TMC-1) from complex matrices with ammonium acetate buffer while lanthanides are concentrated. It is shown to be capable of separating and determining all lanthanides on mixed-bed ion exchange column (CS5) in a wide variety of sample types with high accuracy. Elution is carried out with a concentration gradient of oxalic acid (Ox) and diglycolic acid (DGA), coupled with post-column spectrophotometric detection with 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol (PAR) at 520 nm. It can determined ng ml(-1) scales of lanthanides. The whole run time after sample injection is about 55 min. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
