Abstract: | This work demonstrates that the64Cu 511 keV line can be used in INAA to determine trace amounts of Cu in biological and environmental materials. The method
to reduce the serious interference in γ-ray spectroscopy from nuclides having high energy γ-rays is discussed. A simple INAA
procedure is proposed and examined for 7 different SRM materials. An accuracy and precision better than 3% are achieved for
tested samples with Na-to-Cu content ratio less than 1000. The minimum detectable Cu concentrations of less than several ppm
are calculated for all the analysed samples. To retain the multi-element capability, the k0-and the modified monostandard methods are applied by using the64Cu 511 keV line as the comparator. With the aid of the program MULTINAA, maximum 32 elements are simultaneously determined
with an accuracy better than 5% for most elements. |
