The invention discloses preparation and application of a
millimeter-scale high-uniformity bastnaesite
single crystal electron probe standard sample, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: taking CeF3 and
carbonate as raw materials, carrying out
solid phase mixing, carrying out a
hydrothermal reaction at 400-500 DEG C under water self-generated saturated
vapor pressure, and carrying out programmed cooling, washing and
drying to obtain a CeCO3F
single crystal which has a
millimeter-
scale size and does not contain Nd and other
rare earth impurities. The spectrum peak overlapping interference in EPMA analysis is eliminated from the source, the internal elements are highly uniformly distributed, and the
relative standard deviation (RSD) of the distribution of the key element Ce is less than 1.0%. The method is simple in process, low in cost and mild in condition, the limitation that
millimeter-level single crystals are difficult to prepare through a traditional method is broken through, and the obtained
single crystal standard sample has the advantages of being high in
crystallinity, good in stability, high in matching degree with a natural geological sample matrix and the like, is suitable for
electron probe analysis, especially high-precision quantitative analysis of
rare earth element Ce and has good application prospects. And the accuracy and reliability of an analysis result can be effectively improved.
