“…214 Under normal circumstances, there is an isobaric interference from the 238 U on the 238 Pu, but these authors found that the analytes behaved very differently when carbon dioxide was introduced to the collision cell. An example was a paper by Gourgiotis et al who measured the U and Pu isotope ratios using a collision/reaction cell multicollector ICP-MS instrument.…”

“…The concentration of 230 Th in the samples was measured directly without the need for prior chemical separation. Problems arising from the tailing of the highly abundant 238 U peak, (typically 10 orders of magnitude higher than that of the 230 Th signal), were eliminated by the mathematical deconvolution of the measured mass spectrum. The method developed was validated using reference materials of known production date.…”

“…These elements are found in the spent nuclear fuel and related radioactive waste (Sahoo et al 2001). Coal-fired power plants also emit some amount of uranium, thorium and lanthanide (rare earth elements) into atmosphere during coal combustion process (Parami et al 2010). Contaminants are normally transported from land to the ocean through surface runoff, coastal groundwater discharge and atmospheric fallout over both short and long distances.…”

Distribution of rare earth elements (REEs), thorium and uranium in 54 marine sediments collected from five selected areas along the Gulf of Thailand is discussed in this paper. These areas have been selected as potential sites to set up thermal and nuclear power plants. Concentration of elements was determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Absolute concentrations of REEs, Th and U show a sample-to-sample variation and may be due to different geological characteristic of area as well as grain size effect. Total REE concentrations (not including Y) range between 9.4 and 206 lg/g. The chondrite-normalized REE patterns of all samples are similar to Post-Archean Australian Shale (PAAS) and average Upper Continental Crust, with LREEs' enrichment relative to HREEs (La N / Yb N = 6.5-29), fairly flat HREEs' patterns (Gd N / Yb N = 1.0-3.8) and ubiquitous negative Eu anomaly (Eu/ Eu* = 0.3-0.7). Th concentrations (0.9-28 lg/g) are relatively higher than those of uranium (0.4-4.0 lg/g). Th/U ratios (1.5-9.9) are higher than the average upper crust. These results are consistent with terrigenous sediments that formed from the weathering and erosion of felsic rocks.

Abstract:Epithermal neutron activation analysis along with ICP-OES, LA ICP-MS, and XRF were used to determine the elemental composition of coal fly ash from the Malta coal power station in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa. A total of 54 major, trace and rare earth elements were obtained by the four analytical techniques. The results were compared and the discrepancies discussed to show the merits and drawbacks of each of the techniques. It was shown that the elemental content of this particular coal fly ash are of the same order as the NIST standard reference material Coal Fly Ash 1633b.
