Duwon meteorite was fallen on 23 November 1943 in Duwonmyeon, Goheung, Jeolanam-Do. We measured rare earth element abundance of Duwon meteorite by isotope dilution thermal ion mass spectrometry (ID-TIMS) and ICP-MS. As a result, except La and Ce, abundance of other rare earth element show a correspondence within 10％ of error range. However, La and Ce show more than 70％ in abundance, which is considered due to 1) experimental procedure or 2) inhomogeneity of sample. Leedey meteorite was fallen on 25 November 1943 in Dewey County, Oklahoma, USA. which suggested that fallen difference between Leedey and Duwon meteorites is only 2 days. Leedey and Duwon meteorites are classified as ordinary chondrite of L6 type. In Leedey chondrite-normalized REE pattern, Duwon meteorite shows nearly flattened, which suggests close relationship between Leedey and Duwon meteorites meteoritically or cosmochemically.

이성분 희토류 원소로 치환된 4종류의 합성불화인회석(synthetic fluorapatite) (Ap49: La+Gd, Ap50:Ce+Dy, Ap51: Pr+Er, Ap54: Eu+Lu; $Ca{10-x-2y}$ $Na_{y}$ $REE_{x+y}$($P_{1-x}$ //$Si_{x}$ $_{4}$)$_{6}$ $F_{2}$, x=0.13~0.12, y=0.26~0.42)을 대상으로 X-선 회절분석을 통해 얻어진 자료를 이용하여 리트벨트 구조분석을 실시하고 치환된 희토류원소의 거동을 단결정법으로 구해진 결과와 비교.분석하였다. 리트벨트 구조분석결과 합성불화인회석은 공간군 $P6_3$/m, 단위포는 평균하여 a=9.3906(1) $\AA$, c=6.8924(1) $\AA$, V=527.36 $\AA^3$의 값을 갖는다. 구조의 정밀도를 나타내는 R 지수를 보면 $R_{B}$ / 값은 17.29~18.80이고 S(GofF)값은 1.44~1.68로 계산되었다. 불화인회석은 9개의 산소를 배위하는 Ca1자리와 6개의 산소와 하나의 불소가 배위하는 Ca2자리가 있으며 Ca1-O의 평균거리는 2.563 $\AA$이고 Ca2-O의 평균거리는 $2.460 \AA$으로 Ca1자리가 Ca2자리보다 다소 크다. 구조자리 치환식에서는 $Ca^{2+}$ / 자리를 치환하는 $REE^{3+ }$ 로 인하여 전하균형을 맞춰주기 위해서 인과규소가 함께 참여하였다. ($REE^{3}$+Si$^{ 4+}$ $2Ca^{2+}$ : Ca1) 계산된 희토류원소의 자리점유율(REE-Ca2/REE-Cal)은 원자번호가 증가함에 따라 일정하게 감소하는 경향을 보여주며 이는 희토류원소의 거동이 LREE는 크기가 상대적으로 작은 Ca2 자리에 우선 치환되고 HREE는 크기가 큰 Ca1자리에 우선 치환되는 경향을 지시한다.

An ion-association chromatography was applied for the separation and determination of individual rare earth elements (REE) contained in mineral monazite. Prior to the determination, the group separation of REE was achieved by a cation exchange column of Dowex 5OW-X8 resin. The quantitative recovery of REE by the resin column, free from coexisting elements in monazite, was confirmed with radioactive tracers as well as with ICP-MS. Individual REE at ppm level was separated on reversed-phase column ($\mu$-Bondapak $C_{18}$) using gradient elution from 0.05 to 0.3 M $\alpha$-hydroxyisobutyric acid at pH 4.6. The individual REE was detected at 546 nm following post-column reaction with PAR (4-(2-pyridylazo)-resorcinol monosodium salt).

Rare earth elements with high purity are demanded for the manufacture of advanced materials. Light rare earth elements are contained in domestic monazite and Ni-MH batteries. In this paper, solvent extraction to separate the light rare earth elements from hydrochloric acid leaching solutions of these resources was discussed. A mixture of cationic and tertiary amine shows synergistic effect on the extraction of LREEs and the extent of pH decrease during extraction is reduced. The effect of solution pH on the extraction and synergism was reviewed. Acquisition of the operation data with mixer-settler on the separation of LREEs by this mixture is necessary to develop a process.

This study aims to introduce and economical review on the possibilities of rare earth elements(REEs) recovery from coal ashes and the analysis of economical evaluation factors based on the data for securing domestic rare earth elements. The cut-off grade of REEs on recovering from coal ash was confirmed to be 1,000 ppm on total rare earth oxides(TREO) basis, and while the economic value of coal ash changed with contents and specific elements of rare earth elements. This shall be resulted in the price differences of rare earth elements required by the current industry, and it probably varies depending on the future demand of rare earth components. For developing of commercial recovery technology on REEs in coal ashes, many researches have been carried out by various analyzing methods, such as evaluation of holding value of REEs in ashes, assessment between supply and demand of industry, comparison of investment and its profitability for the REEs's production from coal ashes, and so on. Although these methods have been suggested, its recovery system with economical feasibility could not been confirmed up to present. In this reason, the process design of recovering REEs from coal ash shall be researched continuously to solve the problems of the global rare earth market. And also these researches shall be conducted actively in Korea for the purpose of securing the REEs resources and their recovering technologies.

The elution characteristics of rare earth elements in $NH^{4+}$ form cation exchange resin had been investigated. Elution were performed varing the loading amount, column diameter, column length and eluent pH. Analysing the chemical species contained in each effluent, elution mechanisms of rare earth elements and the separation of rare earth elements in monazite could be understood. The resolution values of adjacent rare earth elements were improved increasing rare earths adsorption amount wfith the same column within it's exchange capacity. With $NH^{4+}$ resin form, column length does not affect on the resolution values and retention time of rare earth elements and the rare earth-EDTA complex were not adsorbed on $NH^{4+}$ resin form. pH of eluent affected on the reactivities between rare earth elements and EDTA. Decreasing eluent pH, resolution values of adjacent rare earth elements were increased while increasing elution time.

지하수, 해수 혹은 지표수의 희토류원소의 분포도에 있어서 Eu과 Ce은 산화수의 변화에 따라 다른 희토류원소로터 벗어나게 되고, 이로이해 Eu과 Ce의 이상이 발생된다. 지표수와 지하수의 연계성을 밝혀내기 위해 희토류원소를 이용하여 전주-완주지역에서의 지표수와 지하수시료를 2002년부터 2004년까지 6차례에 걸쳐 채취하였다. 이중 2003년 8월까지의 시료는 2개기관에서 각각 희토류원소 함량을 측정하였다. 또한 대수층 구성암석과의 상관성을 밝혀내기 위해 동일한 지역에서 코어시료를 채취하였다. PAAS(Post Archean Australian Shale)로 규격화한 희토류 원소분포도에 의하면, 갈수기인 2002년 4월과 2003년 11월의 지표수와 지하수는 대체적으로 중희토류가 부화되었고, 아울러 강한 Eu의 정(+)의 이상과 Ce의 부(-)의 이상을 보여주었다. 그러나 갈수기가 끝난 2003년 6월과 장마가 끝난 직후인 2003년 8월의 시료에서는 대부분의 지표수와 지하수 시료가 Eu의 강한 부(-)의 이상을 보여주었다. 그리고 일부 시료에서는 Ce의 부(-)의 이상도 관찰되었다. 이와 같은 Ce과 Eu의 변화는 산화-환원작용의 영향을 받은 산화수(즉 Ce3+와 Ce4+, Eu2+와 Eu3+)의 변화에 의한 것으로 해석할 수가 있다. 뿐만 아니라, 본 연구결과에 의하면, 전주-완주 지역에서의 지표수와 지하수는 매우 밀접한 연관성을 갖고 있으며, 그 순환속도 또한 비교적 빠른 편으로 나타났다. 그리고 본 연구결과, 희토류원소는 지표수와 지하수의 연계성을 밝혀내는 데 있으며 매우 유용한 지시자임을 확인하였다.

In order to clarify the effect of standard rock material in the chemical analysis of rare earth element abundance with ICP-MS, we measured rare earth element abundance of KIGAM granite standard rock material (KG-1), USGS granite standard rock material (G-2), GSJ granite standard rock materials (JG-1a and JG-2). In REE analysis, we used conventional calibration standard solutions, KG-1, JG-1a, JG-2 and G-2 as standard material, respectively. Chondrite-normalized LREE patterns of low granite standard material correspond well each other in the recommended value and the estimated value regardless of a kind of standard rock. However, the HREE patterns of the estimated value based on G-2 or JG-2 and the recommended value are different from each other. Such difference may be due to the wrong recommended value or a specific geochemical properly of the standard rock material itself, The chondrite-normalized REE patterns of four standard rock materials estimated on the basis of KG-1 or JG-1 a show little deviation compared to the those of the recommended values. This suggests that KG-1 and JG-1a may be a optimum standard material for granitoids.

The effect of plasma operational parameters for the determination of rare earth elements(REE) by means of inductively coupled plasma(ICP) spectrometry was investigated. While the increase in the flow rate of carrier gas argon enhanced the sensitivity and lowered the detection limit, significant ionization interferences were observed. The decrease in RF power increased the signal to background ratio. The observation point showing the lowest ionization interference was slightly higher than the position where the spatial profile of the analyte reached the maximum. The detection limits of the spectral lines commonly used for the determination of REE were measured and the spectral lines relatively free from spectral interferences were chosen.
