Solving the Puzzle of Rare Earth Element (REE) Ores Using ICP-OES

Event Overview:

The complex rare-earth element (REE) spectra have long been a challenge for analysis by inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) because of the hundreds of possible orbital transitions and corresponding emission wavelengths. Spectral overlaps and near-overlaps, especially in complex geological matrices, have made trace- level REE analysis nearly impossible. But the use of alternate wavelengths can help to avoid potential interferences. In addition, interference removal techniques allow the user to remove spectral interferences in the toughest matrices. Join us to discuss how the Agilent 5800/5900 ICP-OES spectrometers can help you solve the REE puzzle.

Key Learning Objectives:

• How to analyze spectrally complex matrices
• How to choose wavelengths for REE analysis
• The importance of interference removal techniques

Who Should Attend:

• Labs performing REE analysis
• Labs investigating REE analysis in Li Ion Battery Industry
• Researchers looking at REE in geochemical samples
