Cadmium analysis by radiochemical neutron activation analysis.

چکیده
Radiochemical neutron activation analysis (RNAA) has been routinely used at the National Bureau of Standards to analyze Cd in a variety of environmentally important matrices. The method used to separate Cd from other neutron-activated products is solvent extraction. Zinc diethyldithiocarbamate [Zn(DDC)2] in chloroform will quantitatively extract Cd from an aqueous solution over a pH range from 1 to 12. In addition to the extraction of Cd, Zn(DDC)2 will also extract Cu, which can interfere with the Cd analysis by producing a high background level of radiation. This can be avoided by first extracting with Bi(DDC)3 in chloroform which removes Cu, but not Cd. Copper concentrations can, therefore, be determined in addition to Cd. This two extraction radiochemical separation procedure is very versatile and is often used as part of a larger multi-element analysis scheme. One such scheme involves the use of an inorganic-ion exchanger, Hydrated Manganese Dioxide (HMD), to retain As, Sb, Se, and Cr prior to extraction. The eluted fraction is then extracted with Bi(DDC)3 to remove Cu, and then with Zn(DDC)2 to remove Cd.

A radiochemical group separation using APDC extraction was applied to the neutron activation analysis of normal and cadmium injected rat liver. In order to optimize determinations of induced radionuclides with various half lives, the gamma-ray spectra were obtained after various decay times. Eight elements, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Se and Zn, were determined from rat liver samples within 12 day ...

Gold was determined in copper concentrate by an instrumental neutron activation analysis technique using the relative method. The determination was repeated by radiochemical and chemical neutron activation analysis with the aid of an anion exchange strategy for the chemical separation of gold from the matrix (Fe, Cu, and Zn). Irradiation of copper concentrate samples was carried out in APSARA r...
متن کاملDetermination of iodine in human brain by epithermal and radiochemical neutron activation analysis
Despite the role of iodine for proper development of the brain and the functions of the element, the accurate data on its concentration in brain tissue are largely lacking, the main reason being analytical difficulties associated with determination of the element especially at low levels. In this work, samples from human brain regions from Hungarian patients were analyzed using epithermal and r...
