PVC samples were irradiated for 1 hour with a thermal neutron flux of th =4.71·1011n·cm–2·s–1 and the chlorine lost during irradiation was measured by -ray spectrometry. About 15% of loss of chlorine has been observed for untreated samples while samples heated to temperatures of 60 and 80°C for one minute before irradiation have been found to loose about 8% and 3%, respectively. The results indicate an influence of the polymer structure on the release of chlorine.  相似文献

For determining low level lithium concentrations in water, a neutron activation method based on the measurement of tritium radioactivity produced by6Li(n,)3H reaction has been developed. This method is specific and free from interference by other chemical elements. Using a low background liquid scintillation counter for tritium measurement, the detection limit is approximately 0.3 ppm during irradiation at a thermal neutron flux density of 1.1·107n·cm–2·s–1 for 6 hours by a small nuclear reactor and liquid scintillation counting for 2000 minutes  相似文献

A rapid method for the determination of Al, V and Ti has been developed and is used for the analysis of these elements in different ores and alloys. An isotopic neutron source252Cf having a thermal neutron flux of the order of 8.5×107 n·cm–2 sec–1 has been used for thermal neutron bombardment. Activity measurements were performed on a HPGe detector coupled to a PC based MCA unit. Depending on the half-life of the (n, ) product, different irradiation and cooling times were employed and thus the elements of interest were analyzed sequentially.  相似文献

Selenium determination by neutron activation analysis via both short and longlived selenium isotopes was performed on 98 samples of whole blood taken from Sydney workers. Half of the samples were further separated into their compenents and selenium measured on the erythrocyte and plasma fractions. The average selenium concentrations for blood, plasma and erythrocytes were 0.103, 0.091 and 0.117 g·ml–1, respectively. These are compared with literature values for Australia and other countries.  相似文献

In determining the trace platinum group elements and gold in rocks and ores by the neutron activation analysis after a nickel sulphide fire assay preconcentration, there are interferences due to nuclides produced from second order nuclear reactions. This paper presents the degree of interference calculated over the ranges of long irradiation times and of reactor neutron flux from 1·1013 to 1·1015 n·cm–2·s–1. According to the results of these calculations, every one of the second order interfering reactions on the PGE+Au, except the197Au(n, )198Au(n, )199Au reaction, can be neglected under the long irradiation time or high reactor neutron flux. Special attention is given to the interference from gold in the determining platinum.  相似文献

Alpha-spectrometric method has been used for the determination of boron in borosilicate glasses. For irradiation thermal neutrons with a flux of about 105 n·cm–2·s–1, produced in a paraffin moderator surrounding a deuteron target of a small neutron generator, were used. Alpha-particles from the reaction10B(n, ) were detected by a Si solid state detector with a resolution of about 50 keV. The sensitivity of the method is 0.05 wt % boron in glass samples.This work was supported by the Hungarian Research Foundation (Contract No. 1734/91.).  相似文献

An instrumental neutron activation analysis technique has been developed for the determination of As, Au, Ba, Co, Cr, Fe, Hf, Sb, Ta, Th, U, W and Zn in large (10–15 g) geological samples using in-pool irradiation with a SLOWPOKE-2 reactor. The technique allows for the simultaneous irradiation of multiple samples using a neutron flux of between 4·1013 and 8·1013 n·m–2·s–1. The detection limits obtained using the analytical methodology described in this paper are acceptable for exploration geochemistry and the technique has been used to analyze samples collected as part of a metallic minerals survey of Jamaica.  相似文献

The application of stable isotope analysis using neutron-induced prompt -ray analysis (PGA) with cold/thermal neutron beams for the tracer study of geological materials are discussed. Silicon has three natural isotopes differing in abundance:28Si (92.23%),29Si (4.67%) and30Si (3.10%). For the purpose of the assessment of Si migration in engineered barrier material, enriched30Si can be used as a tracer due to its nuclear and chemical properties. Isotope analysis of30Si was performed by PGA during the tracer study. Neutron intensity at the sample position was 1.4·108 n¢cm–2·s–1, 2.4·107 n·cm–2·s–1 for cold and themal neutron guided beams of JRR-3M, respectively. Calibration curves and analytical sensitivity of30Si were determined based on measurement of standard samples. BG and detection limits for30Si analysis were also measured in Japanese bentonite (Kunigel V1 and Kunipia F) and their pore water. Fiffteen elements were determined simultaneously using PGA.  相似文献

A prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGAA) setup installed at ANRTC has been used to analyze boron. It consists of a 22.6% REGe detector and a 740 GBq 241Am-Be neutron source moderated with water and paraffin. At the sample irradiation position, the thermal neutron fluence rate measured was 2.36·104 n·m–2· s–1 and the corresponding Cd-ratio was 22 for gold monitor. The absolute detection efficiency in the range of 120–1500 keV was determined using 152Eu standard solution. The sensitivity and detection limit for standard boric acid samples has been determined. The boron content in boric acid prepared from Turkish borate ores is measured to be 15.91±0.46% wt.  相似文献

The design features are described of a prompt gamma neutron activation analysis system at HANARO, a 30 MW research reactor in the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. The beam consists of polychromatic thermal neutrons diffracted by a set of pyrolytic graphite crystals at orders n in the range 1n6 at a Bragg angle of 45° on a horizontal beam line. A neutron flux of 1.0·108 n·cm–2·s–1 is calculated at the sample position from the reflectivity of the crystal which has been confirmed in a measurement of a diffracted neutron spectrum using a time-of-flight spectrometer and gold-wire activation. The fast neutron and gamma backgrounds will be low due to the use of a diffracted beam and a tapered collimator. The detection system comprises a 30% n-type HPGe detector, signal electronics and a fast ADC. The first application of this system will be the analysis of boron concentration in biological samples for neutron capture therapy. Construction of the beam line and the arrangement of the detection system is proceeding.  相似文献

This work describes the design, fabrication, and testing of a lucite bodied proportional gas detection system for the analysis of boron in selected samples via detection of the charged particles produced in the 10B(n,)7Li reaction induced by thermal neutrons. The detector was designed for internal placement of samples; the sample types of major interest were airborne aerosols collected on filters or particulate impaction plates. Samples were irradiated with the detector in the thermal neutron field produced in the graphite thermal column of the University of Lowell's one megawatt research reactor. Determined sensitivities for boron varied from 6.2·10–8 to 1.73·10–6 cpm·ng–1 (n·cm–2J·s–1)–1 depending on the physical characteristics of the samples. For a nominal counting time of ten minutes the lower limit of mass detection of natural boron was determined to be 12.1 nanograms. The analytical method was applied to the estimation of boron in fourteen samples of natural aerosols collected on membrane filters. Analysis of prepared samples and natural aerosol samples by ICP emission showed good agreement with analysis via the (n,) reaction. Application of the method to other sample types was demonstrated by the determination of boron in samples of borosilicate glass and borated polyethylene.  相似文献

Neutron activation analysis has been applied for determination of selenium in environmental and food samples. Food and environmental samples from city, industrial and agricultural zones were collected with utmost care. Samples were activated in the flux 1·1013 n·cm–2·s–1 in the CIRUS reactor of BARC, Bombay, 75-Se was separated from 6.5N HCl solution using ethyl--isonitrosoacetoacetate (HEINA) reagent. The decontamination studies showed the method is very selective. Selenium contents of wheat, rice, vegetables, cereals pulses etc. and of soil, water, and deposits on plants and surface were determined by the procedure developed.  相似文献

The concentration of rare earths and other elements have been determined in the bed sediment samples of Karnafuli estuarine zone in the Bay of Bengal by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). The samples and the standards soil-5, soil-7, coal fly ash and pond sediment were prepared and simultaneously irradiated for short and long time at the TRIGA Mark-II research reactor facility of Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Savar, Dhaka. The maximum themal neutron flux was of the order of 1013 n·cm–2·s–1. After irradiation the radioactivity of the product nuclides was measured by using a high resolution high purity germanium detector system. Analysis of -ray spectra and quantitative analysis of the elemental concentration were done via the software GANAAS, it has been possible to determine the concentration level of 27 elements including the rare earths La, Ce, Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy and Yb and uranium and thorium.  相似文献

As a contribution to nondestructive neutron assay of reactor grade aluminium, a number of elements have been investigated qualitatively and quantiatively using a vertical channel in the IRT-5000 reactor with a thermal neutron flux of 7.6·1012n·cm–2·s–1. The -ray spectra of irradiated samples were analysed with a 30 cm3 Ge(Li) detector connected to an HP-computer and a 4096 channel analyser. The following impurities have been determined: Sc, Ca, Cr, Fe, Ni, Co, Zn, As, Sb, W, Au, Th and U, while Lu and Hf have been determined qualitatively only.  相似文献

Neutron activation analysis is attractive for trace-element determinations in large samples. Facilities for reactor irradiation and -ray spectrometry of kilogram-size cylindrical samples are described. The thermal neutron flux is ca. 5·1012m–2·s–1 with a th/ epi>104, so neutron self-thermalization can be neglected. The correction for the neutron attenuation within the sample is derived from measurement of the neutron flux depression just outside the sample. Correction for -attenuation in the sample is performed via linear attenuation coefficients derived via transmission measurements. Also the natural radioactivity in the sample is taken into account. Examples are given of materials to which large sample INAA has been applied successfully, and further lines of development and exploration are indicated.  相似文献

The separation of fluoride by extraction with toluene solution of triphenyltin chloride has been studied. Quantitative isolation of fluoride from solutions with a wide acidity range (pH 4.0–11.5) has been established. It is suggested that interferences by Ca, Mg, Fe, and Al can be avoided by masking these elements using sulfate and hydroxyde ions. Interference by phosphate ions can be overcome in a similar fashion. The halogenated species can be masked by mercury nitrate. Detection limit for fluorine determination is about 3 g for a neutron generator flux of 2·1111 n·cm–1·s–1. A method for fluorine assay in water using a neutron generator with a detection limit of 1 ppm has been developed.  相似文献

To study the spatial distribution of gold and other elements in various specimens, a method of neutron activation radiography has been elaborated based on irradiating the sample studied with neutrons followed by photoregistration of the induced activity of the element under examination. The main factors, such as the resolution, detection limit, as well as the optimal conditions of irradiation, exposure and photoexposure for obtaining the selective radiographs have been evaluated. Radiographic methods with a resolution of 1–100 m for studying the distribution of more than 30 elements having local detection limits of 10–3–10–8 g·mm–2 have also been developed. Representative data on the regularities of element distribution in minerals and samples of ores and holding rocks were obtained by applying these methods to the analysis of geological and geochemical specimens.  相似文献

In order to assess the source of pollutants and the atmosphere quality in and around a thermal power plant, fugitive dust particulates from seven different locations and ambient air dust from six locations have been analyzed for 32 elements (As, Au, Ba, Br, Ce, Cl, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Eu, Fe, Ga, Hg, Hf, K, La, Lu, Mg, Mn, Na, P, Rb, Sb, Sc, Se, Ta, Tb, Te, Th, W and Yb) by employing instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). The method involves the irradiation of samples and comparator standards in a thermal neutron flux range of 1012–1013 n·cm–2·s–1 in a nuclear reactor for 10 min and 1 day followed by high resolution -spectrometry. Wide differences have been observed in the mean elemental concentrations of Fe, Co, Br, Mn, As, P. Ba and Cu in fugitive and ambient dust particulates coliected from these different locations. Further, a comparison of the elemental contents of the dust particulates from the plant with environmental standards (Urban Particulate Matter, Coal Fly Ash, Vehicle Exhaust and Coal) show significantly lower or comparable amounts of toxic and pollutant elements in the environmental samples.  相似文献

A simple and rapid method for spectrophotometric determination of palladium from highly acidic and highly radioactive nuclear waste using -benzoin oxime (ABO) as extractant and isobutyl methyl ketone (hexone) as diluent has been developed. The method can be employed over a wide range of nitric acid concentrations and for palladium concentrations in the range of 1·10–5M to 4·10–4M in the organic phase. The molar absorptivity was found to be 4·103l·mol–1·cm–1. Influence of various heavy metal ions, fission products and corrosion products was studied. The method was found to give a precision and accuracy better than 4% at 100 g of palladium.  相似文献
