Titanite is a widespread accessory nesosilicate with high trace-element contents including rare-earth elements, Th, and U, and is thus suitable for in situ isotopic and trace-element analyses and U–Pb dating....

It has been found that phosphoric acid decreases the first excitation maximum of Ce(III) at 256 nm, increases the second excitation maximum at 297 nm and shifts the fluorescence maximum from 350 to 346 nm. Under optimum conditions, with λexc = 297 nm and λem = 346 nm, Ce(III) can be determined fluorimetrically with a detection limit of 1.2 ng ml-1 in 12M-H3PO4 medium. No interference was observed from a 20-200 fold excess of HCl, H2SO4, Na, K, NH4+, Al and the rare earth elements. HNO3 interferes and Ce(IV) and Fe(III) interfere strongly. It follows from the stereofluorograms of Ce and Tb that the spectra of the two elements are practically independent. The detection limit for Tb(III) in 0.02-2.5M-H2SO4 medium for λexc = 222 nm and λem = 494 nm is 33 ng ml-1. No interference was observed from a 5-20 fold excess of Al3+ and the other rare earth elements. The determination is slightly less sensitive in H3PO4 or HCl medium. The relative standard deviation of the measurement for 10 ng ml-1 Ce(III) or 50 ng ml-1 Tb(III) is about 3%.
