Abstract: | Summary Regarding the favourably sensitive nuclear characteristics of iodine and of selenium but the very different half lives of their induced nuclides 128I and 75Se, a radiochemical neutron activation analysis method for simultaneous determination of these elements in a single sample was developed. It is based on the double irradiation LICSIR technique — Long Irradiation for Se (40h), Cooling (a week or more), Short Irradiation for iodine (1–15 min) with following Radiochemistry. After the second short irradiation, the sample is ignited in an oxygen flask and iodine and selenium are sequentially and selectively extracted as elemental iodine and 5-nitro-2,1,3 benzoselena diazole chelate. With the described method biological samples were analysed and the reliability of the results was checked by the analyses of different standard reference materials. Good agreement with certified values and high radiochemical purity of the spectra show the applicability of the radiochemical separation developed. |
