Method development for the determination of alkali metals in samples from pyrochemical reprocessing using ICP-OES and comparison with sector field ICP-MS

Elemental and isotopic analysis of americium in non-separated spent fuels using high resolution ICP-OES and sector field ICP-MS

“…Such an independent assessment of the ICP-OES accuracy employing sector eld ICP-MS, based on a different physical detection principle, underlines the quality assurance of the analytical results. 7,8 Consequently, without a suitable matrix-matched certied reference material, the obtained ICP-OES Am concentration values were compared to the in-house sector eld ICP-MS data as described in detail below.…”

“…5 Hence ICP-MS and ICP-OES, employing diverse physical detection principles, complement each other and thereby help to improve the quality of Am analysis in a nuclear fuel. 7,8 Building on our previous experience, 5 the current comparative study aims to investigate the potential and pitfalls of both ICP-OES and ICP-MS for the direct Am analysis of the "nonseparated" spent fuel. Various experimental approaches including the application of external calibration against a home-made 241 Am (via separation of 241 Am from a concentrated Pu solution) or a commercial 238 U standard, as well as standard addition have been investigated to establish the Am concentration in three selected nuclear fuels.…”

A preliminary study: saltiness and sodium content of aqueous extracts from plants and marine animal shells

“…The content of na, K, Mg, Ca, Zn, and P was determined using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) (Optima 2100DV, Perkin Elmer) with an axially viewed configuration according to the method described by Krachler [19] with some modifications. For this technique, 0.08 g of the extract was weighed and put into a crucible.…”

Determinação multielementar de elementos traços em radiofármacos produzidos na Diretoria de Radiofarmácia por espectrometria de emissão por plasma

“…Krachler e colaboradores estudando robustez do método analítico, verificaram que, embora o sistema de introdução da amostra auxilie no aumento da sensibilidade de todas as linhas de emissão, o parâmetro sample uptake é essencial para se obter uma ótima sensibilidade e estabilidade das análises (98) . acordo com o critério de aceitação da ANVISA (8) .…”

“…Krachler e colaboradores também selecionaram a linha de emissão 588,995 nm para a análise de Na em amostras de alimentos industrialmente processados devido às características analíticas apresentadas anteriormente (65,98) .…”
