Abstract: | Determination of carbon in metals was achieved by the12C(γ, n)11C reaction in 35 MeV photons. We showed that usual methods of carbon separation such as fusion in an oxidizing bath heated
by a high-frequency furnace are suitable only for a few metals. We developed two new separation methods: fusion in an alkaline
bath followed by acidification and attack in a hot acid solution. The experimental conditions fitted for many metals and alloys
(Ag, Al, Cr, Fe, Mo, Ni, Se, Ti, W, Zn. AlMg, ZnMgTe) were systematically studied. The analytical procedures were controlled
using specially prepared standard alloys containing a known quantity of radioactive11C. |
