This study is on the distribution of rare earth elements (REEs) concentrations in sediments collected from 113 sampling locations of Linggi River. The analysis of sediment samples was performed by Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) and Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). The main compositions of Linggi river sediments were silt > sand > clay. The mean of total concentrations of REEs (ΣREE), light REEs (ΣLREE) and heavy REEs (ΣHREE) in Linggi sediment were 249, 228, and 22.0 mg/kg, respectively. The results of Linggi river sediment were normalised to several reference shale values. REEs of Linggi river sediments were comparable to MUQ reference shale values. Enrichment factors (EF) of mean values indicate Linggi River sediment can be categorised as having minor to moderate enrichment.
本研究针对从凌吉河113个采样点采集的沉积物中稀土元素（REEs）浓度的分布情况展开。沉积物样本分析采用中子活化分析（NAA）和电感耦合等离子体质谱仪（ICP-MS）进行。凌吉河沉积物的主要成分是粉砂>砂>黏土。凌吉河沉积物中稀土元素总量（ΣREE）、轻稀土元素（ΣLREE）和重稀土元素（ΣHREE）的平均值分别为249、228和22.0毫克/千克。凌吉河沉积物的结果被归一化为多个参考页岩值。凌吉河沉积物的稀土元素与穆克参考页岩值相当。平均值的富集因子（EF）表明凌吉河沉积物可归类为轻度至中度富集。
