Abstract: In this paper, nanometer-size titanium dioxide(NSTD) is employed as a new type of adsorption material to separate and concentrate trace rare eartHElements(Y, Yb, Eu, La, Dy, Tm, Sm, Ho, Nd, Pr).The results show that NSTD can quantitatively adsorbed the ions of the elements under the condition of optimal pH(7.0).The ions adsorbed on NSTD can be directly determined with fluorination assisted electrothermal vaporization inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry(FETV-ICP-AES) through slurry sampling without elution at proper ashing temperature(600℃) and vaporization temperature(2400℃).The detection limit of those elementSIs 0.1, 0.08, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.1, 0.4, 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 ng, respectively, and the corresponding RSD is 2.0%, 1.6%, 2.9%, 2.1%, 3.0%, 1.6%, 2.2%, 1.4%, 2.7% and 3.1%, respectively.
