摘　　要：A new method for the separation and detection of trace metal impurities in cerium oxide (CeO_2) using HPLC combined with electrothermal vaporization (ETV)-ICP-AES was developed. This combination links the high separation power of HPLC and high sensitivity of ETV-ICP-AES. The 2-ethylhexyl hydrogen 2-ethylhexylphosphate (P_(507)) resin was used as stationary phase for the separation of metallic impurities in order to eliminate severe spectral interferences of the matrix. The dilute nitric acid was adopted as mobile phase for eluting Cu, Mn, Ni and La. The separation process can be accomplished in about 30 min. After concentrating the eluate by evaporation, the trace impurities were determined by using ETV-ICP-AES with the addition of 6% PTFE slurry as chemical modifier. The proposed method was applied to the analysis of CeO_2 with satisfactory recoveries.A new method for the separation and detection of trace metal impurities in cerium oxide (CeO_2) using HPLC combined with electrothermal vaporization (ETV)-ICP-AES was developed.
