3. DEFINITION OF CERIUM
3.1. A portion of the sample mass of 0.1−1 g (depending on the content of the cerium) is placed in a beaker with a capacity of 100 cm, flow 10 cmof hydrochloric acid (1:1), dissolve by heating on the tile, adding a few drops of hydrogen peroxide. In the presence of the yellow colour of the solution add a few crystals (2−5 pieces) tin dichloride to the total disappearance of color. The solution is evaporated to wet salts, dissolve in a minimum amount of water, poured 1 cmof a solution of hydrochloric acid (1:1), transferred to a measuring cylinder and adjusted with water to 10 cm.

The first tube is introduced 2 cmof water, during the second and third at 1 and 2 cm, respectively, of working solutions of cerium so that the amount of cerium was approximately equal to and exceeding twice the expected number of cerium in the sample.

3A. THE DEFINITION OF TERBIUM
3A.1. A portion of the sample weighing 1−4 g (depending on the content of terbium) were placed in a glass with a capacity of 100 cm, poured 10−40 cmof hydrochloric acid (1:1) and dissolved by heating. The solution was boiled down to 4−8 cm, transferred into a measuring cylinder with a capacity of 10 cmand adjusted with water to 10 cm. The solution is poured into a quartz cuvette and record the luminescence spectra of terbium in the region of wavelengths 520−570 nm when excited by radiation of 220 nm. Slit of a monochromator excitation 20 nm, the slit of the emission monochromator 10 nm, scan rate 60 nm/min.
In each registrarme measure the peak height of the band of terbium luminescence at 544 nm.
The measured solution is transferred to the same measuring cylinder and an additive injected working solution of terbium () at the level of the intended content in the sample (see table.1A).
The solution is thoroughly mixed, re-poured in a quartz cuvette and record the luminescence spectra of terbium, measure the peak height ().
Solution with first additive being transferred to the same measuring cylinder, and inject the second additive is equal to the first. Thus the second (cumulative) Supplement exceed approximately two times the expected content of terbium in the sample (see table.1A). The solution is thoroughly mixed and recorded the luminescence spectra of the terbium by measuring the peak height ().
