| Abstract | The determination of rare earth elements (REEs) and Y in carbonates can be complicated by low REE abundances and the presence of significant amounts of Ba resulting in problematic interferences when analyzed by ICP-MS. We describe here a novel ion-exchange method using the DGA resin (TODGA), combined with addition of a Tm spike, which allows the separation of the REEs+Y as a whole prior to analysis using an Element XR ICP-MS. This method was validated with results obtained on three different reference carbonate materials (CAL-S, JLs-1 and BEAN, an in-house standard), yielding reproducibility levels better than 3% (RSD) in most cases. This new separation scheme is particularly well suited for carbonate samples having very low REE contents, but could be equally applied to various rock types and organic-rich sample matrices whenever quantitative Ba removal is required. |
