Neutron activation analysis of wheat samples

Neutron activation analysis of wheat samples.

The deficiency of essential micronutrients and excess of toxic metals in cereals, an important food items for human nutrition, can cause public health risk. Therefore, before their consumption and adoption of soil supplementation, concentrations of essential micronutrients and metals in cereals should be monitored. This study collected soil and two varieties of wheat samples-Triticum aestivum L...

Monte Carlo Simulations for Non-destructive Elemental Analysis of Large Samples by Neutron Activation Analysis

Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) is an established nuclear analytical technique with applications in a broad range of scientific and technological fields. Typically, conventional NAA involves analysis of small material portions of 10 to 100 g in mass. However, analysis of samples of a larger mass implies a number of additional advantages such as (a) analysis of objects too precious to remove ...

Introduction Neutron activation analysis (NAA) is a nuclear process used for determining the concentrations of elements in a vast amount of materials. NAA relies on excitation by neutrons so that the treated sample emits gamma-rays. It allows the precise identification and quantification of the elements, above all of the trace elements in the sample. NAA has applications in chemistry but also i...
