Determination of rare earth elements, uranium and thorium in soil samples by microwave-assisted acid digestion and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry

This paper presents a simple microwave digestion method for soil samples leading to correct determination of the rare earth elements (Ce, La, Nd, Sc), uranium (U) and thorium (Th) using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Six soil samples were collected from different depths (0-...
