| Summary: | As an effort to increase the knowledge about the abundance, distribution and geochemical behavior
of the rare earth elements (REEs), a simple and effective Raman spectroscopic method for detection of REEs
in minerals is proposed. The proposed method based on Raman spectroscopy provides a lower detection
limit for REEs compared to the modern analytical techniques. It could be practiced even in laboratories
equipped only with FT-Raman instrumentation. This simple, inexpensive, rapid and straightforward Raman
method for REEs detection in minerals is a convenient experiment for undergraduate and postgraduate
laboratory courses. |
