Rare earth elements in fine fraction (

Abstract:

:Present studies facilitated testing the hypothesis that sediment fraction <20 μm contains different amounts of REEs. The potentially bioavailable rare earth elements (REEs) were determined in the following fractions of the surface sediments of the Vistula River: <5 μm, 5-10 μm, 10-20 μm, and total <20 μm. The attempt was made to fractionate the sediment by self-adjustable split-flow transport-thin fractionation channel operating in the full depletion mode (SPLITT-FFD-SA), which is a new concept and so far unused method for such purposes. All three fractions were separated in the expected particle size ranges. The collected fractions were analyzed with the laser diffraction particle size analyzer and the inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) to determine the size and the elemental composition. ∑REEs in the Vistula sediments declined from 123.41, through 112.59 to 95.22 mg kg-1 in fractions: 10-20 μm, 5-10 μm, <5 μm, respectively. Eleven, out of sixteen REEs, showed statistically significant declining trend in REEs content, with decreasing particle sizes of sediment fractions. Particularly exceptional was Er, whose content in <5 μm fraction was by 12-20% higher than in larger size fractions. Rare earth elements of the Vistula sediments are considerably enriched in the light rare earth elements (LREEs) relative to the heavy rare earth elements (HREEs), with the LREEs/HREEs ratio declining from 4.01 (10-20 μm) to 3.599 (<5 μm). The sequence of mass weighted REEs content in <20 μm size fraction was as follows: Ce > La > Nd > Y > Sc > Pr > Sm > Gd > Dy > Er > Yb > Eu > Tb > Ho > Tm > Lu.
