“…Recovery through the procedure was assessed by determining stable Cl and I using ion chromatography and ICP-MS, respectively. Shibahara et al used TIMS for evaluating the nuclear data of 135 Cs. 201 Additive agents were tested for the impact of Cs ionisation to achieve an intense and stable beam, with silicotungstic acid having the most impact while also showing the largest polyatomic interference.…”

“…Since the properties of concretes are dominated by their key compound, cement [2], devising a way to determine its origin, known as provenancing, is of great importance. Provenance studies of concrete and cement are required for failure research, damage assessment, and resulting liability issues related to concrete structures, and they are also important in forensic science [3][4][5][6][7][8].…”

“…The advantage of using radiogenic isotope systems such as the Sr isotope system is that the results can be linked to the geographic origin of raw materials with more confidence than the results of other approaches such as elemental fingerprinting. This is partly due to the fact that the elemental composition of a cement may be considerably influenced by changes in the environment as well as changes of the production process [ 3 ]. As ordinary Portland cement consists mainly of Portland clinker, 87 Sr/ 86 Sr isotope ratios of cement and clinker might be expected to be very similar.…”

The 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratio can, in principle, be used for provenancing of cement. However, while commercial cements consist of multiple components, no detailed investigation into their individual 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios or their influence on the integral 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratio of the resulting cement was conducted previously. Therefore, the present study aimed at determining and comparing the conventional 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios of a diverse set of Portland cements and their corresponding Portland clinkers, the major component of these cements. Two approaches to remove the additives from the cements, i.e. to measure the conventional 87Sr/86Sr isotopic fingerprint of the clinker only, were tested, namely, treatment with a potassium hydroxide/sucrose solution and sieving on a 11-µm sieve. Dissolution in concentrated hydrochloric acid/nitric acid and in diluted nitric acid was employed to determine the 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios of the cements and the individual clinkers. The aim was to find the most appropriate sample preparation procedure for cement provenancing, and the selection was realised by comparing the 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios of differently treated cements with those of the corresponding clinkers. None of the methods to separate the clinkers from the cements proved to be satisfactory. However, it was found that the 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios of clinker and cement generally corresponded, meaning that the latter can be used as a proxy for the clinker 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratio. Finally, the concentrated hydrochloric acid/nitric acid dissolution method was found to be the most suitable sample preparation method for the cements; it is thus recommended for 87Sr/86Sr isotope analyses for cement provenancing.

An interlaboratory comparison (ILC) was organised to characterise 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios in geological and industrial reference materials by applying the so‐called conventional method for determining 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios. Four cements (VDZ 100a, VDZ 200a, VDZ 300a, IAG OPC‐1), one limestone (IAG CGL ML‐3) and one slate (IAG OU‐6) reference materials were selected, covering a wide range of naturally occurring Sr isotopic signatures. Thirteen laboratories received aliquots of these six reference materials together with a detailed technical protocol. The consensus values for the six reference materials and their associated measurement uncertainties were obtained by applying a Gaussian, linear mixed effects model fitted to all the measurement results. By combining the consensus values and their uncertainties with an uncertainty contribution for potential heterogeneity, reference values ranging from 0.708134 mol mol‐1 to 0.729778 mol mol‐1 were obtained with relative expanded uncertainties of ≤ 0.007 %. This study represents an ILC on conventional 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios, within which metrological principles were considered and the compatibility of measurement results obtained by MC‐ICP‐MS and by MC‐TIMS is demonstrated. The materials characterised in this study can be used as reference materials for validation and quality control purposes and to estimate measurement uncertainties in conventional 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratio measurement.
