The concentration of Th(IV) and Ce(III), the eluent type and volume, the pH of model solutions, influences of matrix interference parameters, and flow rate were analyzed and optimized extraction conditions were determined. The optimum pH for quantitative sorption of Th(IV) and Ce(III) was found as 7.0 and elution of Th(IV) and Ce(III) from mini-columns was studied with 1.0 mol L-1, 5 mL HNO3 with recoveries from 100%. The precision of this method was validated by comparing the analytical recovery and certified reference materials (IAEA Soil-7). Finally, this enrichment method was used to determine Th(IV) and Ce(III) in bastnaesite ore sample. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.
