Abstract

The determination of eleven lanthanides in geological samples by long-living radionuclides using comparator instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and the internal standard method with recording gamma radiation of induced activity by a planar semiconductor detector is described. The reference elements are Ba and Fe, whose mass fractions were determined by X-ray fluorescence, or Th, whose concentration was found by gamma spectrometry. The results of analysis of certified reference materials by comparator INAA using each of the three reference elements confirmed a possibility of the routine quantitative determination of eleven lanthanides in the III accuracy class according to OST (Branch Standard) 41-08-212-04. A possibility of using this approach for the determination of lanthanides in ores and out-of-balance samples of the Shock-Karagay deposit (Kazakhstan) and for solving geochemical problems is estimated.
