Abstract
The combination of neutron activation analysis (NAA) and electrochemistry has been used to study the deposition behavior of rare earth elements, as it is reported that excepting La, no other rare earths are electrodeposited. The radiotracers of rare earth elements were electrolyzed in an aqueous medium on a graphite electrode by varying the voltage and time of electrodeposition, thereby optimizing the final experimental conditions for quantitative deposition of rare earth elements. The observations are reported in this work.
