99Mtc Activity

AbstractThree methods have been used for the determination of 99Tc in soils and solid radioactive wastes using 99mTc as a yield monitor. In the method one and three the samples were leached in low concentrated nitric and sulphuric acid. Many contaminants were then co-precipitated with Fe(OH)3 in alkali media and Tc in the supernatant was separated using anion-exchange extraction chromatography. There were made also some studies how to improve the chemical recovery of 99mTc in the process of chromatography. In the method two the sample was ashed and then leached in 8 mol dm−3 HNO3 and after iron precipitation, technetium was separated on chromatographic column. The chemical recovery of 99mTc was optimized in the process of chromatography and leaching. Typical recoveries of technetium determined with 99mTc tracer for all these methods were in the range 39 %–87 %.The 99Tc activity was measured using proportional low-background beta detector after one week of staying to allow decay of 99mTc activity. 99Tc was also determined by the non-radiometric method using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer.

Column Extraction

The method describes concentration of mercury in samples of drinking water from water mains with Hg concentration above 1.0 . 10-7 g l-1 (5.0 . 10-10mol l-1) by means of extraction chromatography on a column packed with a carrier Synachrom E-5 wetted with saturated solution of bis(diethyldithiocarbamate)copper(II) complex in 1 : 1 mixture 1,2-dichlorobenzene + cyclohexane. After elution with 3.0 mol l-1 HCl the mercury concentration in the eluate is determined by atomic absorption spectrometry - cold vapour method. Average yield of the mercury separation from the model solutions was 95.8%.

Radiation Enhanced Diffusion

ABSTRACTThis work is one of the first attempts to work out a proper technique for the determination of the diffusion of the phosphate glass components into various rocks by using X-ray microanalysis. Under study was thermal and radiationenhanced diffusion of phosphorus, chromium from phosphate glasses into the samples of basalt, metagabbro, metadunite and quartz at high temperatures (to 600°) during gamma irradiation. Radiation enhanced diffusion of ions into rocks.

Potassium 40

Potassium-40 was determined in soil in an area with 40,000 m² situated in the western State of Pernambuco, Brazil. For radiometric measurements, the gamma spectrometry method with a high purity germanium (HPGe) detector was used. Sampling of 78 soil samples has been performed at intervals of 25 m. The specific activities of 40K were calculated based on the photopeak of 1.46 MeV. Values from 541 to 3,572 Bq kg-1 were obtained (mean of 1,827 Bq kg-1). These values allowed the determination of the elemental concentrations as well as the absorbed dose rates in air, 1 m above the ground. The values varied from 1.7 to 11.5% (mean of 6%) and from 23.4 to 154.3 nGy h-1 (mean of 79 nGy h-1), respectively.

Radioanalytical Procedures

In the present study a comparative evaluation of two methods for 137Cs determination (pretreatment for gamma spectrometry) is attempted. One of them is the conventional AMP (ammonium molybdophosphate, (ΝΗ4)3Ρ(Μo3O10)4) method (radiochemical treatment based on coprecipitation) and the other one is a method based on pre-concentration of cesium in situ by using the Mark III Centrifugal Pump. The pump, which is described analytically in the study, is composed of a mo­tor (pump), four cartridge housings (containing the scavengers), a flow meter and a pressure tube (containing the battery pack and the timer board). For justification, this method is compared with the AMP co-precipitation one. Following up the radioanalytical procedures, the gamma spectrometry system (relative efficiency of high purity germanium detector 90%) is also demonstrated, as conformed to mea­ suring obtained parameters. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of these two methods are recorded and the application of each one is suggested.
