Preface
Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) has
moved into a period of rapidly growing application, as Prof. Fassel has pointed
out. It has been widely adopted as a routine analytical technique for elemental
analysis in various laboratories, companies and industries. As is always the case,
the shortcomings of ICP-AES appeared gradually with its extensive application,
one of which is spectral interference even with a high resolution spectrometer,
especially for such line-rich elements as rare earth elements (REEs).
There is an old Chinese saying: A workman must first sharpen his tools if he
wants to do his work well. We hope that the present Altas is such a tool for
analytical spectroscopists who want to determine the REEs well, and especially
to determine them in REE matrices. The Atlas contains systematic, informative
and useful data and profiles of high-resolution interferent spectra among REEs,
especially the data of some newly proposed evaluation parameters. With the
help of the Atlas, not only may the best analytical line(s) be selected with given
matrices of REEs, but also a more comprehensive and complete understanding
of the ICP may be obtained with the characteristics of the spectra.
The Atlas is composed of four parts. Part I is the Introduction, in which the
aims of the book and the necessity of such research are clearly elucidated. Some
concepts and principles used in the book are interpreted in detail. Conventional
and more advanced criteria for evaluating spectral interference are illustrated
with formulae and figures. The apparatus and the experimental procedures used
are listed or described in detail. Many references published in the past are
collected in Part 11. The tables forming Part I11 contain the important data of
the criteria for spectral coincidence profiles. The best analytical line(s) of a REE
may be found directly from the tables for a particular REE matrix, or with some
further simple calculation for a matrix of a particular mixture of REEs. The
collection of coincidence profiles for a total of 65 prominent lines of 15 REEs
which have not been adequately addressed previously in the literature are
presented in Part IV. In addition to the hard copy of the coincidence profiles,
an electronic version is provided on a compact disk supplied with this book.
Instruction for use of the disk is included in the Appendix.
The authors gratefully acknowledge the support granted by the National
Natural Science Foundation of China. They also sincerely appreciate the
donation of the brand new ICP2070 spectrometer, especially equipped with a
holographic grating of 3600 grooves/mm for the REEs, by Baird Corp., MA,
USA, without which this Atlas could not have been produced.

Introduction
1 Overview
There is an increasing need for sensitive, accurate and convenient analytical
techniques for analysis and determination of rare earth elements (REEs) with
their expanding applications.' REEs are now widely used in various areas of
industry, agriculture, material science and other modern technologies, for
instance, special alloy steels, non-ferrous alloys, magnetic materials, fluorescent
powders, various kinds of growth promotion fertilizer in agriculture, catalysts
in oil refining, additives in new ceramic materials, etc.
Being a powerful tool for elemental analysis, inductively coupled plasma
atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) plays a more and more important role
in the purity analysis of REEs owing to its high performance, such as: low
detection limits ( < 0 . 0 ,ug
~ ml- '), good precision, wide linear dynamic range,
simple sample treatment, etc. As shown in many papers, ICP-AES has the
potential to determine individual REEs directly without mutual separation,2
provided the spectrometer has adequate resolution and dispersion.
However, one of the basic problems of AES is spectral interference from the
concomitant and matrix elements of the sample. In addition, REEs are wellknown spectral line-rich elements. Improper analytical line selection may result
in significant loss of detection power or accuracy for samples containing REE
matrices. Therefore, it is crucial to choose appropriate analytical lines in order
to avoid interference and ensure the quality of a n a l y ~ i sIt
. ~is obvious that the
line coincidence atlases are always the most emphasized and important fundamental research for ICP-AES, as stressed by many spectrochemists at a workshop held in Scarborough, Ont., Canada, in 1987: Needs f o r Fundamental
Atomic Reference Data f o r Analytical Spectroscopy, Spectrochim. Acta, Part B,
1988,43, No. l.4
Although quite a few extensive tables5-I9 have been published for REEs, few
of them meet the demands for optimum selection of analytical line(s) for
samples with REEs as major constituents. Some of them lack the mutual
interferent information among the REE lines, and most of them do not provide
spectral coincidence profiles. For those atlases with spectral profiles, the overlay
information is still insufficient or not so accurate owing to the use of a lowresolution spectrometer for obtaining the spectral information. Many weak
lines of REEs are missed or submerged in profiles of other sensitive lines.
Furthermore, the general assessments adopted for rational line selection were
1

Section I

sensitivity, detection limit, and signal-to-background ratio (SBR), etc. Another

significant criterion for selecting analytical line(s), the true detection limit
proposed by Boumans," has not been applied in most of these atlases.
The aim of this atlas is to provide spectral interference data for REEs, with
emphasis on the spectral interferences occurring among REEs
The atlas will cover the following aspects:
1. to record the detailed spectra of all REEs in the wavelength region
adjacent to each of the prominent lines of a particular REE with a highresolution ICP-AES instrument;
2. to provide reliable evaluation, based on recorded spectra, of the powers of
detection of the chosen prominent lines for samples with the matrices of
the other REEs;
3. to recommend the best analytical line(s) of an analyte with less interference
and higher sensitivities for analysis with a particular REE matrix;
4. to provide data for calculating the criteria to choose the best line(s) with
mixed REEs matrices.

2 Interpretation
Spectral Coincidence Profiles
Spectral coincidence profiles, according to our experience, are the simplest and
clearest illustration for interpreting the interfering spectra. The graphic format
not only provides us with the interference data, but also gives us a visual impact
of the spectra in a certain wavelength range, from which we could obtain
information on different kinds of interference, such as direct overlap, wing
overlap and line broadening interference.
The coincidence profiles are presented in Part IV. These profiles for each
prominent line are divided into four separate plots, each of them consisting of
linear-scaled profiles of analyte spectral profile superimposed with interferent
profiles La, Ce, Sm, Dy in plot A, Er, Ho, Tb, (Dy) in plot B, Eu, Gd, Lu, Tm in
plot C , and Nd, Pr, Y, Yb in plot D, respectively. The magnitude of an
interference can be estimated by a simple comparison of the analyte and
interferent intensities at the analytical wavelength. The wavelengths of some
unlabelled interferent lines in the plots may be found in the Tables of Interfering
Lines in Part 111. The full view of the spectra can be zoomed with programs on
the disk enclosed with this book. This is especially useful for those profiles in
which the analyte and interferent peaks are of significantly different magnitude.

Detection Limits
Detection limits (C,) in ICP-AES are usually defined as the concentrations that
yield a net line signal equal to an arbitrary factor ( K ) times the relative standard
deviation (GB) of the background signal (XB):

111i r*oclirction

where

sensitivity of analyte;
the net analyte signal;
CA: the analyte concentration to produce XA.
Commonly, the relative standard deviation of the background oB is conservatively assumed to be 0.01. However, various values of K have been used by
different workers. By convention, K is equal to 3, which corresponds approximately to 95% confidence. In the definition of the conventional detection limit
given by Boumans in case of interference, K is equal to 22/2. Here, in order to be
consistent with other literature, a value of 3 is used for K. Therefore, the
detection limit may be written as:
SA:

XA:

Background Equivalent Concentration

Background equivalent concentration (BEC) is usually defined as the concentration that yields a net line signal equal to the net solvent blank signal, which
may be estimated as:

BEC is another empirical evaluation of detection power of the analysis.

True Detection Limit and Q Values

True detection limit (CL,true)assessment was proposed by Boumans and
Vrakking for rational selection of wavelength lines. It has been proved capable
to be a simple, applicable and standard criterion for estimating the type and
magnitude of spectral interference in the analysis of real samples.
According to Ref. 11, for a multi-component system, in case of interference,
CL,true
is defined as:

where

A,: the peak wavelength of an analysis line;

Section I

SI,;(La): the sensitivity of componentj at the interfering line at La;

SA:sensitivity of analyte;
CI>,:the interferent concentration of component j ;
C L , ~the~ conventional
~ ~ :
detection limit.
The conventional detection limit can be written as:
XBL

C L ,=~2 ~h x~0.01
~ x RSDBl x SA

(1-6)

in which, R S D B l ( % ) is the relative standard deviation of the total background

signal XBL,which is written as:

where XB: the net background signal at la;

XI,,: the net interferent signal of componentj at la;
XW,,: the net wing signal of componentj at la;
So the ratio XBL/SAmay be written as:

Boumans thinks that the quotients of S I jand SW,with SA are more meaningful
than the values themselves:

(I-10)
The Q values are more convenient and have universal significance in that they
are independent of (a) the transmission characteristics of the spectrometer and
the response characteristic of the detector; (b) the transport efficiency of the
nebulizer, at least to a first approximation; and (c) the units in which the
sensitivities are expressed.
Then the conventional detection limit is obtained:

(I- 11)
Finally, we have

3 Apparatus and Procedures

Apparatus
A commercial sequential high-resolution ICP-AES spectrometer was employed
for collection of the coincidence profiles. The specification of the instrument and
the optimized operating conditions are summarized in Table I- 1.

Sample Solutions
The stock solutions (1 mgml- I ) were provided by Shanghai Institute of
Material Science (spectral purity > 99.995%). The standard solution and the
artificial pure matrix solution of each rare earth element (listed in Table 1-2)
were prepared by diluting the stock solutions with distilled and deionized water
prepared by the MilliQ water purification system. For example, 1 ml Ce
standard solution (1 mgml-I) and 10ml nitric acid (AR) were mixed and
diluted to 200ml to obtain the analytical standard solution. The final concentration of H N 0 3 in all test solutions was 0.8 moll- I . 0.8 moll- nitric acid
prepared with distilled and deionized water was used as the blank solution.

Introduction

Selection of Prominent Lines

Consulting other references, lines with large signal to background ratio (S/B)
were selected for the present study. In this work, four to six prominent
analytical lines were selected to investigate the spectral interference for each
rare earth element. The detection limits of the selected prominent lines of each
REE obtained by the authors are listed in Table 111- 1.

Experimental Procedures
As indicated in the section on Sample Solutions, the blank, standard and 'pure'
matrix solutions were used to obtain the spectral data of background, analytes,
and matrices respectively. The window width of the sequential spectrometer
used in this study was set to 0.2 nm. Within the 0.2 nm window, every spectrum
of background, analytes, and matrices was recorded in steps of approximate 0.9
pm. The integration time is 0.2 s per step with a constant voltage setting for the
photomultiplier (PMT). Under these conditions, there are more than 200
measurement points per scan and 15 scans per profile for each of the 65 spectral
lines. Thus, approximately 198 000 intensity measurements for the coincidence
profiles have been made.
The coincidence profiles were obtained by superimposing the profiles of
signals of background, analyte, and matrices that were located in the same
wavelength range. In addition to the visualization of interference, the relevant
criteria, CL,CL,conv,
CL,true
and Q values may be finally determined. A computer
program compiled by the authors was used to locate positions of peaks and to
calculate these critera automatically. Readers may contact the authors if they
are interested in this program.
To maintain the excitation conditions consistent, the intensities of Dy I1
364.540nm and Sm I1 359.260nm were checked every working day with
5 pg ml- of standard solution under the optimum conditions. If the intensities
of those lines monitored were out of the tolerance range, the carrier gas flow rate
was adjusted to maintain the initial intensities. When investigation for one
matrix spectrum was completed, the plasma torch and nebulizer were cleaned
thoroughly with concentrated nitric acid (50%) to avoid memory effects.

'

Wavelength Accuracy and Reproducibility

Wavelength accuracy and reproducibility are decisive to the superimposibility
of the coincidence profiles. The grating drive mechanism of the ICP 2070 is
based on a harmonic drive. It works with a tolerance, reported by the
instrument manufacturer, of less than one step. Consequently, the accuracy of
the peak position located should be less than two steps, i.e. I .8 pm. From the
wavelength range of 200-500nm, a prominent line of a known element was
selected to check the shift of the grating position for about every 40nm. For
instance, Cu (1 pgml-') I1 213.598 nm and Lu (1 pgml-I) I1 307.760nm were
used in the corresponding windows for such calibration purposes in this work.

Section I

The experimental results show that the shifts are actually less than +2pm for
five individual scans of the same line. Therefore the accuracy of the estimated
wavelength for a peak in replicated scan should be less than f5 pm.

APPENDIX

Instructions for Use of the

Program Explorer for Interferent
Spectra of REEs Attached on the
Disk
This program is used to load the interferent spectra of arbitrarily selected REEs
matrices around a selected prominent line. It is helpful for those spectra in
which intensity magnitudes of the superimposed profiles are significantly
different. The overlay profiles can be zoomed in to see the details or printed
out as a hard copy.
The program operates on IBM-compatible personal computers. It has been
tested on a compatible PC with Pentium 100 MHz, and 32M RAM. All
operations are simply the same as standard ones under Windows 95. It should
be pointed out that the spectra shown on the screen might differ slightly from
those in the book, because some calculations were needed in the display and
zooming processes.

1 Installation
Just run the setup program setup.exe in the root directory of the disk in the
Windows 95 environment. It will copy all files to your designated directory on
the hard disk. An item and its small icon will be added to the program group.

2 Commands in the Menu

[Function 1 Overlay]: This is the main function of the program, which will draw
the required superimposed profiles on the screen, A dialog box will be displayed
on clicking on this item, asking for the overlay information. Three list boxes
form the main part of the dialog box. The upper one is for choosing the
prominent lines. The lower-left one lists the unselected matrix elements, while
the lower-right one includes the selected matrix elements. The two buttons are
used for selecting and deselecting elements between the latter two boxes.
Clicking on OK returns to the main window and draws the selected superimposed profiles. Clicking on Cancel returns to the main window without doing
anything.

Appendix

249

[Function I Print]: This is used to print the current superimposed profiles on the
screen as a hard copy. It will not be available if no superimposed profiles are
shown.
[Function 1 Exit]: This is used to exit from the program.
[Graph Tools]: The profiles may be zoomed in or restored by the tools provided
here. However, it will not be available if no superimposed profiles are shown.
[Graph Tools I Zoom in]: This is another useful tool for the superimposed
profiles. A user-specified area on the image can be zoomed in to gain detailed
interferent information. The user can define the area by holding down the left
key of the mouse and dragging it to the required place.
[Graph Tools I Original]: The original superimposed profiles may be restored by
clicking on this item.
[Help I Content]: This command displays the help information for the program.
[Help I About]: This command displays the About dialog box showing copyright and version information.
