Abstract
A study related to fast and simultaneously method for detection of rare earth elements (REEs) is still challenging. The combination methods of voltammetric and experimental design are suggested to not only provide simple sample preparation and swift analysis time but also concurrently and low detection limit. In the present work, Samarium (Sm), Dysprosium (Dy) and Europium (Eu) were chosen as a sample of REE. Those metals were analyzed as a complex form with Diethylenetriamine Pentaacetic Acid ligand (DTPA). A Plackett-Burman experimental design was conducted to determine the important factors which were optimized by Box-Behnken. An optimum 5 factors, from total 11 factors, have the potential to be the main effect which are: the electrolyte solution NH4Cl 0.10 M, the pH at 5.15, the scan rate of 0.05 V/s, the DTPA ligand concentration 267.67 mg/L and the pulse amplitude of 0.5489 V. Each REE and it`s mixture were analyzed under optimum condition. The detection limit for Sm, Dy and Eu were found as 27.44 mg/L, 27.63 mg/L, and 27.89 mg/L, respectively. The accuracy and recovery value for Sm = 96,80% and 97.88%; for Dy = 98,24% and 93.40%; and for Eu = 94,28% and 99.27%, respectively.
