Actinides / ICP-MS / alpha spectrometry / TRU resin
Summary.A radioanalytical method based on the use of a single TRU extraction chromatographic column and selective, on-column oxidation state adjustment of actinides was developed for the determination of Th, U, Np, Pu and Am(Cm) in environmental samples (such as sediment and swipe samples). The procedure of Vajda et al.[1] was further investigated and optimized focusing on the separation of Th, U and Np. The improved method combines two measurement techniques -alpha spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) -which allows to obtain more reliable information on a wider range of isotopes: 228 Th,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
