For the determination of trace elements in organic liquids radiochemical neutron activation analysis has been combined with counting methods geared to various decay modes of indicator radionuclides leading to a high sensitivity required for ultrapure samples. The activation parameters such as irradiation time, sample mass and neutron flux have been enlarged to the maximum possible in the available irradiation facility. Separation yields and adsorption losses have been studied in detail for a set of elements in order to rule out losses during the separation process. The attainable limits of detection are 2 · 10–16g/g for U and Lu, in the 5 · 10–15g/g range for Th and Sm, in the 1 · 10–14g/g region for La, 5 · 10–13g/g for Rb, Cd and 2 · 10–12g/g for K and In. Although the analysis focused on traces of naturally occurring radioisotopes, results for Cr, Fe, W and Zn are presented as well. 相似文献

A collimated neutron beam capable of providing a thermal neutron flux of 4.75·107 n·cm−2·sec−1 has been used to analyze alloy samples of 1–5 g during relatively short irradiation times of 30 min by the use of neutron
capture gamma-ray spectrometry. The analyses were performed by using a mathematical treatment that relates the count ratio
of every constituent present in the matrix with the concentration and thus it requires no standards. The technique was applied
to the analysis of steel and gold alloy samples. Errors ranged from 0.8%–10%. 相似文献

The experimental sensitivity for 72 different elements using 3 MeV neutron activation has been investigated. Using a 200 kV
Cockcroft-Walton neutron generator with a 3 MeV neutron flux of about 1.5·106n·cm−2·sec−1, γ-ray spectra of 51 elements were obtained with a sufficient number of photopeak counts for sensitivity calculations using
a photopeak integration method. A useful table summarizing the sensitivity results is given. That 3 MeV neutron activation
analysis is practical, is demonstrated by the experimental sensitivities obtained.

For the simultaneous determination of many elements in small biological samples, a multi-element analysis has been developed
using neutron activation. After a 24-hr irradiation in a neutron flux of 2.5·1014 n·cm−2·sec−1 and after immediate chemical separation without cooling, it was possible to analyse 24 elements in bovine liver (NBS-SRM
1577). The separation apparatus, set up in a shielded cell can work four samples simultaneously, and its operation is fast
enough to allow the detection of radioisotopes with a half-life of about 2 hrs (165Dy,57mSr,56Mn). Amounts lower than 10−3 μg of Dy, Eu, Pr, Sm and Yb were determined. 相似文献

A sensitive, simple and time-saving method has been developed for the neutron activation analysis of gallium at concentrations
around 10−4 ppm in biological tissues. After a 24-hour irradiation in a thermal neutron flux of 2.8·1013 n·cm−2·s−1 and a purification by ion-exchange chromatography to eliminate troublesome elements such as sodium, iron and copper, the72Ga activity is measured with enough accuracy for the method to be applicable in animal physiology and clinical toxicology. 相似文献

Representative banded iron-formations (BIFs) from various locations of the eastern Indian geological belt were investigated
by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). After pre-concentration, irradiation was carried out using a neutron flux
of 5.1·1016 m−2·s−1, 1.0·1015 m−2·s−1 and 3.7·1015 m−2s−1, with thermal, epi-thermal and fast neutrons, respectively. The activities in these samples were measured by a HPGe detector.
Ten rare-earth elements, such as La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Ho, Tm, Yb and Lu, have been qualitatively identified and quantitatively
estimated in these samples. The present investigation is an example of employing a pre-concentration method for high iron-containing
ores prior to neutron activation analysis. 相似文献

An instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) method has been developed for multi-element determination in geological
samples. The INAA method consists of irradiation of samples for 90 sec at a flux of 1.0·1012 n·cm−2·sec−1 and determination of 12 elements by using their short-lived nuclides. Samples have been re-irradiated for 3 hrs for measuring
concentrations of another 10 elements. Precision and accuracy of the INAA method have been evaluated by analysing samples
and USGS standard reference materials. Precision and accuracy are within±15% and ±10%, respectively. 相似文献

Uranium in human bone, drinking water and daily diet has been determined by neutron activation analysis using the238U(n, γ)239U reaction. An improved scheme for the separation of the239U is proposed; with this scheme, after neutron irradiation in a 100 kW TRIGA reactor, a uranium content as low as 5·10−11 g can be determined reliably, rapidly and easily. A wide range of uranium concentrations, from about 0.1 ppb up to about
10 ppb has been found in the bones of normal Japanese. Water from several Japanese city water services, and the daily diet
taken in two Japanese cities, have been found to contain an average 9·10−9 g/l and 1.5 μg per person-day uranium, respectively. 相似文献

For the solution of most of the problems which are connected to the biological and physiological role of natural uranium in
plants and animal organisms about 10−14 g uranium should be determined. However most of the physico-chemical methods for the determination of natural uranium in
biomaterials are time-consuming and possess considerable error. On the basis of addition and inner standard methods a version
of Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors (SSNTD) method has been developed in order to determine the natural uranium in biospecimens.
According to the experimental data simple relations have been obtained for the calculation of uranium concentration in biomaterial
and minium uranium concentration in biosolution which can be measured by the detector used. Under irradiation of SSNTD at
a thermal neutron flux of (3–5)·1015n·cm−2 the detector sensitivity is 2.30·10−9 g U/ml for glass detectors; 9.60·10−10g U/ml for the detectors made from artificial mica. 相似文献

At the GKSS Research Center Geesthacht, a new 14 MeV activation facility—a 5·1012 n/s neutron generator combined with a fast rabbit system (KORONA)—is being installed. Homogeneous neutron flux at a level
of 5·1010 n·cm−2·s−1 and sample transfer times of 140 ms to a 16m distant detector station are characteristic features of the facility described
in the paper. With special consideration of short-lived nuclides and including cyclic activation, the analytical prospects
with the intense neutron source are discussed, and sensitivities for 78 elements are presented. 相似文献

A method with a sensitivity of 2·10−7 to 1·10−10% has been developed for determining Yb, Ho, Dy, Gd, Eu, Sm and La impurities in metallic uranium by means of neutron activation.
The method is based on a preliminary chromatographic separation of the total amount of rare earth elements from uranium by
passing the solution in sulphuric acid through KU-2 cation exchange resin and eluting the traces of uranium retained by the
resin with a solution of ascorbic acid. The rare earth impurities are then eluted from the resin with 4–5N HCl, evaporated, and irradiated for 20 hours with a neutron flux of 1.2·1013 n·cm−2·sec−1. Subsequently the traces of the rare earth elements are co-precipitated with Fe(OH)3, dissolved in concentrated HCl and separated from the iron and other impurities by passing the solution through Dowex 1X8
anion exchange resin in the chloride form. The individual rare earth elements are then separated from each other using KU-2
cation exchange resin and a solution of ammonium α-hydroxyisobutyrate as the eluant. 相似文献

A simple ion exchange procedure has been developed for the separation of chromium from the other chemical elements in biological
tissues. This procedure combined with neutron activation analysis has been applied successfully to the determination of chromium
in a reference biological material. The precision was ±11%, the accuracy 3% and the sensitivity found was 10 ng with only
20 hrs irradiation at 2.8·1013 n·cm−2·sec−1 flux The main steps of the procedure are: wetdigestion of the irradiated tissue, oxidation to chromium (VI), fixation onto
an anion resin in sulfate form, washing of the resin with 1N H2SO4, collection of chromium by reductive elution for counting and finally determination of the chemical yield by reactivation. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to define experimentally the sensitivity of determination for 63 different elements by 14 MeV
neutron activation, with a 150 kV Cockroft-Walton accelerator at a neutron flux of 2·108 n·cm−2·sec−1 on the sample. The obtained gamma ray spectra are given, and the origin of the photopeaks observed are explained. A maximum
irradiation time of five minutes was used as a convenient experimental limit to obtain the maximum sensitivity, considering,
however, that the tritium target life is limited, and that the time to perform an analysis has to be reasonable. The practical
use of 14 MeV neutron activation analysis is demonstrated by the detection limits obtained. 相似文献

The potential for using a small, sealed tube, DT neutron generator for neutron activation analysis has been well documented
but not well demonstrated, except for 14 MeV activation analysis. This paper describes the design, construction and characterization
of a neutron irradiation facility incorporating a small sealed tube DT neutron generator producing 14 MeV neutrons with fluence
rates of 2·108 s−1 in 4π (steady state) and 1011 s−1 in 4π (pulsed). Monte Carlo modeling using MCNP4c and McBend9 has been used to optimize the design of this facility, including
the location of a thermal irradiation facility for conventional neutron activation analysis. A significant factor in designing
the facility has been the requirement to conform with Ionising Radiation Regulations and the design has been optimized to
keep potential radiation doses to less that 1 μSv/h at the external walls of the facility. Activation of gold foils has been
used for flux characterization and the experimental results agree well with the modeling. 相似文献

A method for the determination of uranium based on235U thermal neutron fission, has been developed and employed on samples of ashed fish tissue and seaweed. The method involves
a post-irradiation ion exchange separation of iodine isotopes. The 884 keV photopeak of134I is used for measurement. Uranium detection limits in the samples concerned have been estimated to be 1·10−8g in terms of natural uranium. The precision achieved in analysing several series of 3–5 samples was 4–10 per cent. The accuracy
of the method was tested by employing an independent neutron activation procedure based on239U measurement. The accuracy of both methods was checked by analysing NBS SRM 1571 ‘Orchard Leaves’. 相似文献

The study describes a mode of non-destructive simultaneous determination of bromine and iodine concentrations, by reactor
instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) in the regime of short-term activation. Under the conditions of 1-minute activation
in the neutron flux of 8.0·1013 n·cm−2·s−1, it was possible to determine reliably as little as 5·10−8 g bromine and about 10−7 g iodine in matrices of a given type and of the mass of about 5 mg dry weight. We applied this method for the determination
of Br and I concentrations in the whole rat thyroid gland as well as for the halogen speciation in fractions separated from
this organ. 相似文献

Loaded and unloaded polyurethane foams were examined as a preconcentration matrix in combination with neutron activation analysis.
The structure of the foamed polymer is not damaged by short irradiation periods. However the foam skeleton degraded after
irradiations for one hour or longer in a neutron flux of 3·1013 n ·cm−2·s−1. The presence of tin as a major impurity in the polyether-type foam has been detected. This may affect the sensitivity of
determination of the relatively short lived isotopes of the elements collected on the foam. On the other hand the polyester-type
foam was found to contain only very low amounts of tin. Antimony, indium, gold and mercury collected on the foams were determined
with reasonable accuracy. 相似文献

An alternative method of approach has been developed for the measurement of thermal neutron flux. The method depends only
on the activity of the bare foil if the cadmium ratio at the irradiation position is known. The method has been tested on
the GHARR-1 facility at the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission using gold and indium foils for the measurement of the thermal
neutron flux in the flux range of 1010–1012 n·cm−2·s−1 and the results compare very well with those obtained using the conventional method (cadmium separation method). 相似文献

We present a NAA method to determine ultratraces of K, Th, U and other trace impurities in liquid organic scintillators, which
are known as ultrapure detector materials for neutrino or dark matter experiments. A combined optimization of relevant factors
for sensitive NAA has been realized, leading to a sensitivity for U down to 10−16g/g. Samples of 250 ml have been irradiated up to 120 h at a thermal neutron flux of 5–8·1012·n·cm−2·s−1. Acidic extraction, wet ashing and TBP-extraction are used for radiochemical separations. Finally, coincidence techniques
are applied for increased sensitivity. 相似文献
