Neutron activation analysis for 2–0.8 p.p.m. bromine in selenium was performed by irradiating i-g samples for 2 h at a neutron flux of 4.1011 n/cm2/sec. The bromine was separated by a double precipitation technique as silver bromide to obtain adequate decontamination and the isotope 82Br (T=35.87 h) measured. Errors due to self-shielding in the standards and flux-depression in the selenium were calculated. Measurements on 2 different photopeaks were made to avoid errors from interfering isotopes. 相似文献
A simple method was developed for separation of bromine from metallic selenium. This method enables easy preparation of77Br by proton bombardment of metallic selenium (enriched77Se or78Se). The method consists of heating the metallic selenium with H2O to 300°C in a small autoclave for about three hours. The77Br is distilled from the obtained solution after the addition of H2SO4+K2Cr2O7. The step also removes the arsenic produced together with the selenium. 相似文献
Gas-phase spectra of four isotopic species of GaBr have been detected in the millimeter wavelength region. The molecules were produced by a flame reaction of gallium and bromine at 1000° C. From the rotational spectra molecular constants have been determined for 69Ga79Br,69Ga81Br,71Ga79Br,71Ga81Br. The equilibrium internuclear distance is re = 2.3524907(82). 相似文献
Soil desinfestation with methyl bromide increases the uptake of bromine by plants. According to the tolerance regulations
in the FRG only 30–50 ppm Br are allowed. The bromine uptake by plants depends on: (a) the fumigation technique (applied amounts,
reaction time, date of cultivation); (b) the growing conditions (soil type, climate and irrigation); (c) the plants (species,
rotation, harvesting time etc.). The INAA is a simple and rapid method to analyse bromine in vegetables within a wide range
using80Br and82Br. Since several years this method was also used to control imported crops. 相似文献
Procedures for the determination of bromine by the reactions81Br(n, γ)82Br (T=35.4 h) and79Br(n, γ)80mBr (T=4.4 h). In the case of82Br a flat coaxial Ge(Li) crystal is used to measure the 619 keV photopeak. For80mBr a planar Ge(Li) detector is applied to measure the 39 keV γ-ray. The agreement between the data obtained with both techniques
for some Standard Reference Materials is satisfactory. 相似文献
A new method utilizing a radio-gas chromatographic system, for the calibration of various gas chromatographic columns with
less than 10−12M of tritium-labelled samples is described. The minimum detectable level of3H,38Cl,18F,80mBr,82Br,35S and14C labelled compounds employed for column calibration is discussed. In addition, the relative retention times of nine previously
unpublished alkyl-substituted fluorocyclopropanes on five gas chromatographic columns are given. 相似文献
The use of radioactive tracers provide valuable methods for the investigation of distillation processes and have been applied
to determine the characteristics of material streams, the dynamics of flowing phases and the compositions in various parts
of the distillation equipment. A method is proposed for testing individual radiotracers employed for the investigation of
the distillation of hydrocarbons. The method consists in laboratory-scale distillation of a tracer together with a multicomponent
hydrocarbon mixture, namely a gasoline fraction. The purification efficiency, distillation characteristics, and effective
radiochemical purity of several tracers (reactor activated bromobenzene and synthesized C3H782Br, C4H982Br, C5H1182Br) have been investigated. The distillation characteristics of bromohydrocarbons labelled with82Br and selected hydrocarbons tagged with14C (benzene and cumene) have been compared. The radiotracers investigated were employed for the determination of the hydrodynamic
parameters of hydrocarbon distillation in laboratory packed columns and a commercial distillation tower. 相似文献
Selenium nuclides are available from thermal neutron induced nuclear fission of 235U at the gas-jet facility at the Swiss spallation neutron source (SINQ) at Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland. The formation of stable selenium compounds, their transport yields using the gas-jet system and their relative thermal decomposition temperature were investigated under oxidizing and reducing conditions in the target chamber. Using O2, H2, CO, and propene as additional gases, the selenium isotopes are suggested to form H2SeO3, H2Se, COSe, and C3H6Se, respectively, with overall 84Se yields of 1.5%, 4.7%, 6.3%, and 21.9%, respectively. Adsorption enthalpy, vapour pressure, solubility and acidity data for these species were collected from the literature or estimated from other known thermochemical properties. Carrier free bromine isotopes (84Br, 86Br) in the form of HOBr were obtained by thermally decomposing H2SeO3 and retaining elemental Se under oxygen rich conditions on quartz at 400 K. 相似文献
Interaction of bromine ions absorbed by water cluster with adsorbed oxygen and ozone molecules has been investigated by the
molecular dynamics method. It was shown that the part of O2 molecules was removed from the system by evaporating Br− ions, while all O3 molecules and Br ions were kept in the system during 25 ps. The increase the concentration of the Br− ions in the clusters resulted in a reduction of the absorption intensity and emission in IR spectra at the presence of oxygen,
whereas the absorption intensity in the appropriate IR spectra of ozone-containing systems increased with the growth of a
number of the Br− ions. Raman spectra of oxygen-containing systems were poorly sensitive to the concentration of the Br− ions but the absorption intensity of Raman spectra for systems with ozone considerably decreased with the growth of a number
of bromine ions. 相似文献
Resonance neutron activation and gamma-ray spectrometry were used to determine traces of iodine in biological materials. The
method developed is purely instrumental and fairly rapid. The major interfering activities of24Na,38Cl,36Mn and82Br were significantly reduced by irradiating the samples inside a shield of Cd, NaCl, MnBr2 and MnO2. Neutrons with energies close to the resonances of Na, Cl, Mn and Br were absorbed in the shield and did not activate the
sample while neutrons with energies close to the resonances of iodine were not absorbed appreciably. Thus the activity of128I was enhanced relative to the interfering activities. The 442 keV gamma of128I (T=25 min) was measured using a high-resolution Ge(Li) detector and a multichannel analyzer. Sensitivity of 0.05 ppm was
obtained. 相似文献
This work demonstrates the feasibility of ultra-trace determination of halogens in biological samples by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) after decomposition by microwave-induced combustion (MIC). The conventional MIC method was improved to allow the combustion of samples with mass higher than that used in previous works in order to achieve better limits of detection (LODs). The applicability of the proposed method for ultra-trace determination of bromine and iodine in organic samples was demonstrated here using honey. It was possible to decompose up to 1000 mg of honey using microcrystalline cellulose as a combustion aid and polyethylene film for sample wrapping. After combustion, analytes were absorbed using 50 mmol L?1 NH4OH and recoveries for Br and I were between 99 and 104 %, and relative standard deviations were lower than 5 %. Microwave-assisted alkaline dissolution (MA-AD) was also evaluated for honey sample preparation using NH4OH or tetramethylammonium hydroxide solutions. However, the LODs for the MA-AD method were unsuitable because the high carbon content in digests required a dilution step prior to the analysis by ICP-MS. The LODs obtained by MIC were improved from 1143 to 34 ng g?1 for Br and from 571 to 6.0 ng g?1 for I, when compared to the MA-AD method. Furthermore, it was possible to decompose up to eight samples simultaneously in 30 min (including the cooling step) with very low reagent consumption and consequently lower generation of effluents, making MIC method well suited for routine ultra-trace determination of Br and I in honey.
A silver chloride co-precipitation and ion exchange separation method is described for the carrier-free isolation of77Br bromide from isotopically enriched77Se targets following dissolution of the irradiated77Se in nitric acid. A cation exchange procedure has been devised to remove the silver and yield a dilute hydrochloric acid
solution containing ≈90% of the precipitated77Br as bromide. The radiochemical and chemical composition of several preparations have been analyzed. A method for the quantitative
recovery of the isotopically enriched selenium is described.

Bromine can be determined by neutron activation analysis (NNA) through either the activation of79Br (50.69% naturally abundant) or81Br (49.31% naturally abundant). When79Br is activated, both80mBr and80Br are produced.80mBr (4.42 h) decays to80Br (17.66 m) which then beta decays to either80Se or80Kr. If one would like to determine bromine concentrations with short lived NAA, special equations must be used to account for the parent daughter relationship between80mBr after their simultaneous production. The development of the equations needed to calculate bromine concentrations with short-lived NAA is described including variations on irradiation times, decay times, and count times. 相似文献
Several modifications are proposed of the established methods of iodine determination in serum. Prior to the actual analysis, the serum is lyophilized. This preliminary treatment permits the use of large samples. Through lyophilization human blood serum samples can easily be reduced to one-tenth of the original weight. Reduction is even more dramatic with materials from other than human origin. After irradiation the samples are subjected to chemical treatment in the presence of an iodine carrier and131I-labelled thyoxine. This procedure has been adopted for the determination of the iodine content and the chemical yield in one and the same radioactive measurement. The analysis technique itself consists of an open system Schöniger combustion. The open combustion allows the use of large samples; the gases evolved are absorbed upon their subsequent passage through potassium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid; the mineralization requires less than two minutes. After the addition of a substochiometric amount of silver nitrate, silver iodide is precipitated from an ammoniacal solution as a flat sample, which has been found ideally suited for high efficiency counting with a Ge(Li) detector. The spectrum gives evidence of an excellent decontamination from the38Cl,80Br and82Br activities. The iodine content can be calculated from the ratio of the photopeak areas at 364.5 keV and 442.7 keV corresponding to131I and128I, respectively. The chemical procedure requires a mere 15 min, and the recording of the γ-ray spectrum takes no longer than 30 min. The technique is not limited to serum only. It proved well suited for the analysis of many other types of biological material, e.g. human skin tissues. 相似文献
Spectral interferences from phosphorus on the determination of selenium in biological tissue materials were not observed when a Zeeman-effect background correction was used with rhodium as a chemical modifier. A suppression effect on the selenium signal resulted when the concentration of phosphorus present was greater than 1.0 mg ml−1. Rhodium was found to be more effective than palladium in overcoming the phosphate interference. Analytical procedures for the direct determination of trace selenium in standard reference materials by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry following sample dissolution in nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide using a microwave oven has been described. The results obtained agreed favourably with the certified values. 相似文献
Neutron activation analysis was applied to the determination of molybdenum in hair and wool. Ashed samples of hair and wool were irradiated for 15 min at a flux of 5·1013 n/cm2/sec to produce 101Mo. An acid solution of the ash was first boiled in the presence of sodium bromide and bromate to volatilize bromine (80Br and 82Br radioisotopes interfere) and then extracted with 0.1% α-benzoinoxime in chloroform to remove 101Mo from other interfering radionuclides. The 101Tc daughter from 101Mo was measured over the 0.31-MeV γ-ray photopeak after allowing the separated 101Mo to decay for 15 min. The molybdenum concentration in hair varied from 0.02 to 0.13μg/g while wool was found to contain 0.04–0.58 μg/g. 相似文献
Zusammenfassung Für die Beurteilung von Leitfähigkeitsmessungen an Halbleiterselen ist besonders die Kenntnis des Halogengehaltes der Selenproben von Wichtigkeit. Es werden zwei Verfahren zur Mikrobestimmung des Broms in reinem Selen beschrieben, die sich zur Bestimmung eines Halogengehaltes von 0,1–0,2% bzw. von 10–3% eignen. Diese Verfahren können besonders zur Betriebsanalyse in Halbleiter- bzw. Gleichrichterwerken angewandt werden.
Summary In the examination of selenium samples for semi-conductors the halide content is an important criterion for the estimation of electric conductivity. For the micro-determination of bromine in pure selenium two methods are described suitable for the range of halide content from 0.1 to 0.20% and 10–3%, respectively. These methods are especially applicable to analysis in plants of the semi-conductor and rectifier production.
