Determination of Light Rare Earths by a Spectrophoto-metry Based on the Linear Combination of Multiwavelength Data

摘要

The present paper proposes a new method of spectrophotometry based on linear combination ofmultiwavelength data by means of selecting a set of properly weighted coefficients and combination methods.It is clear that the weighted combination absorbance attained is only in direct proportion to the concentrationof the analysed component and independent of coexisting interferents.The accuracy of the analytical resultsis improved greatly for the analysis of light rare earths with the coexistence of heavy rare earths.The analyti-cal error from the reagent blank and co-coloration of light and heavy rare earths have also been overcome.The greatly improved linearity and additivity of absorbance are obtained.
