Determination of the content of rare metals in spent anion-exchange resin SIM202 by methods of neutron-activation and mass-spectrometric analysis
Abstract The work is devoted to the development of methods for determining the elemental and isotopic composition of spent ion-exchange resin, industrial waste and environmental objects using an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer and analyzing specific samples to determine the content of noble and rare metals in technological materials, industrial waste and natural objects with application of the developed techniques. This article determines the elemental composition of the spent ion-exchange resin SIM202 with the Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method and also shows the comparison of the results with neutron activation analysis (NAA). The distribution coefficient of elements in a chromatographic column in ion-exchange resins TAO and SIM202 is given.
