Everyday exploration operations produce high sample volumes which require routine monitoring. Solid sampling of fused discs using laser ablation coupled to ICP-OES or ICP-MS has gained momentum over conventional sampling techniques. This is because it enables geologists to analyze refractory minerals for major and trace elements without the need for complex acid digestion, and to better identify geochemical "fingerprints" that may suggest the presence of mineralization, such as elevated levels of arsenic (As) or antimony (Sb) associated with gold deposits.

Application Note: Impurities in Lithium Materials Using NexION 2000 ICP-MS APPLICATION NOTE AUTHORS Ruth Merrifield Chady Stephan PerkinElmer Inc. Woodbridge, ON, Canada ICP - Mass Spectrometry Introduction With growing concern about the state of the environment, more and more devices are being powered by lithium batteries due to their higher capacities, longer lives, and ability to be recycled, in comparison to conventional batteries. As with all consumer goods, safety and performance are critical and in the case of lithium batteries they are related to both battery composition and the purity of the materials used for their production. Since lithium (Li) is a natural material, it must be extracted from the earth, purified, and converted into different compounds which can be used in the production of batteries. Increasingly, Li is also being recovered from batteries during the recycling process. Whether the Li comes from mining or recycling, its purity must be monitored, from the initial material1 to intermediates and all the way to final products. Depending on the end-use and step in the production process, the desired purity levels can vary. In previous work, we demonstrated the assessment of the purity of lithium-containing compounds using the NexION® 5000 ICP-MS at extremely low levels2, but not all applications require impurity measurements at such low concentrations. This study complements our previous work by measuring impurities in lithium compounds using the NexION 2000 ICP-MS. Determination of Impurities in Lithium Materials with the NexION 2000 ICP-MS Application Note: Impurities in Lithium Materials using NexION 5000 ICP-MS Introduction Lithium (Li) plays an important role in everyday life and can be found around us in nearly every aspect of modern living. One of the most common uses of lithium is in batteries. Lithium batteries can be found in cell phones, computers, electric vehicles, and every portable electronic device. For decades, consumers have been valuing longer battery lives and fastercharging capabilities, and the advancements in lithium battery technology are a reflection of this. In addition, global trends in electrification, renewable energy, and the adoption of electric vehicles are creating a demand for more lithium-based materials with higher quality control (QC) requirements. With the demand for higher-capacity batteries, current battery production technology must improve, requiring better control of the raw materials used and their physical properties. For example, lithium salts are commonly refined from brine, a highly concentrated solution of NaCl. Sodium must be removed from the final product during the extraction process since excess sodium can lead to overheating in the battery end products. Therefore, the capability to identify the presence of impurities in lithium battery materials is critical for manufacturers and suppliers to ensure that the final battery performance is not compromised.

Shanghai, China ICP - Mass Spectrometry Introduction Rare earth elements (REEs) include the lanthanide series (La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu) as well as Sc and Y. Currently, these metals have become critical to several modern technologies ranging from cellular phones and televisions, to LED light bulbs and wind turbines. Since the purity of the REEs govern their efficacy and the price, it is of great interest to produce ultra-high purity rare earth oxides. Neodymium oxide (Nd2O3 ) is one such REE and is mainly used as a colorant for glass and ceramics, a raw material for the manufacture of metallic neodymium as well as a raw material for a strong magnetic alloy of neodymium-iron-boron. Adding 1.5%-2.5% nano-neodymium oxide to a magnesium alloy or aluminum alloy can improve the high temperature performance, air resistance and corrosion resistance of the alloy, and as such is widely used in aerospace materials. Moreover, Nd is extensively applied in super-magnets for disk drives, where high purities of the Nd and Nd2O3 are crucial. Therefore, the detection of impurities for these applications is vitally important. For this reason, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has long been valued as the technique of choice for the measurement of impurities in high-purity REE compounds because of the low detection capabilities of this technology. However, the main challenge analyzing trace concentrations of rare earth elements in high-purity rare earth oxides by ICP-MS is overcoming polyatomic spectral interferences from the matrix (MO+ , MOH+ , MH+ , MOH2 + ).
