Abstract

The study of the interactions of the rare earth elements (REE) with chromazurol S in the presence of a cationic and noncationic tenside permitted a number of general conclusions to be drawn for the effect of tensides on the chromogenic analytical reaction. The ternary ion associate with chromazurol S and cetyl trimethyl ammonia in the presence of Triton-100 is useful for the sensitive spectrophotometric determination of REE in mixtures and in hydroxide concentrates.
