Abstract89Sr is being produced using yttria target via the nuclear reaction89Y(n,p)89Sr in Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FBTR), Kalpakkam. The isotope89Sr is a pure beta emitter with a half-life of 50.53 days which is useful mainly for bone pain palliation in patients with bone metastases. The existing method for processing the irradiated yttria target to obtain the pure89Sr source involves separation of the bulk yttrium target by solvent extraction using TBP-HNO3followed by purification of89Sr source by cation exchange chromatography technique using Dowex resin. The study described here involves the selective extraction and purification of89Sr by multi-column extraction chromatography technique using the Sr-specific crown ether, DtBuCH18C6 (CE) coated onto an XAD-7 resin matrix for superior separation and increased yield compared to single column technique. The89Sr source thus purified from the irradiated yttria target is free from other radionuclidic impurities produced during the target irradiation i.e.88Y,65Zn,139,141Ce,154Eu and160Tb.

A single column separation and concentration/isotope ratio measurement method for Cr by ICP-MS (single and multicollector) was evaluated and optimized for geological and biological matrices. Results showδ53Cr homogeneity in different urban soil profiles and suggest isotopically light signature for airborne Cr emitted by steelworks.

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%.

This work is a first attempt to evaluate the potential use of 1012 Ω amplifiers for transient signal isotope analysis. We showed how the transient signal duration influences the accuracy of the isotope ratio measurements.
