The cerium isotope fractionation between Ce(III)-malate complex in aqueous solution and cerium ions in a cation-exchange resin was conducted by displacement chromatography. The pH and the chemical composition of the eluent were optimized for maintaining the self-sharpening band boundaries and the 21 m chromatographic migration of the Ce band underwent. Graphite slurry was coated on the tantalum filament prior to sample loading for reducing the isobaric interferences in cerium isotopic ratio determination by mass spectrometry. From the experimental results, it was found that the heavier isotope was enriched in the front boundary part of the cerium adsorption band, which meant that the heavier isotope was preferentially fractionated into the Ce3+ malate complex rather than simply hydrated Ce3+ ions. The isotope separation coefficient for the 136Ce/140Ce and 142Ce/140Ce was 5.2 x 10(-5) and -1.9 x 10(-5), respectively, at 298 K.

Optimizing the electronic structure with increasing intrinsic stability is a usual method to enhance the catalysts' performance. Herein, a series of cerium dioxide (CeO) based solid solution materials is synthesized via substituting Ce atoms with transition metal (Co, Cu, Ni, etc.), in which CoCeO shows optimized band structure because of electron transition in the reaction, namely Co (3d4s) + Ce (4f5d 6s) → Co (3d4s) + Ce (4f5d6s), with more stable electronic configuration.

Assessing the fate of contaminants in the environment requires a deep understanding of intrinsic adsorption mechanisms on natural minerals such as Fe-oxyhydroxides. In this study, we proposed an innovative approach to probe site heterogeneities on the goethite surface by comparing the adsorption behavior of rare earth elements (REEs, including Sc, Y, and all lanthanides; Ln) except Pm, as well as Th and U. A surface loading-dependent adsorption of Ln and Y was observed, with a shift from (i) preferential middle to heavy REE adsorption and (ii) limited to substantial fractionation between Y and Ho as the loading increased.
