Abstract
The applications of rare earth elements (REE) in various technological fields are reviewed, with emphasis on the importance of the knowledge of the chemical composition of the materials used. Nuclear neutron activation (NNA), atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP—AES), inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP—MS) and x ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) are the most frequently used analytical techniques for determining REE. Complex matrices require the prior separation of the analytes by column chromatography.
