Abstract: | An analytical procedure and an automatic apparatus are described for the determination of tritium in organic compounds by
gas counting. The sample is pyrolysed in hydrogen atmosphere at 1000°C, then, with hydrogen, the decomposition products are
rinsed through a column of molecular sieve-5A heated to 550°C. Tritium in water, hydrogen sulphide, ammonia and hydrogen cyanide
is transferred into the hydrogen stream by isotope exchange completed on the column. The inactive water vapor, hydrogen sulphide,
ammonia and hydrogen cyanide as well as carbon dioxide are removed from the gas stream by appropriate absorbents, and the
radioactive hydrogen together with tritiated methane, carbon monoxide and nitrogen included in the pyrolytic products is led
into an internal proportional counter tube for radioactivity measurement. The method provides quantitative recovery, it is
free of memory effect and suitable for the rapid assay of a wide variety of organic compounds containing C, H, N, O, S in
addition to tritium. |
