Enrichment of Low-Level Tritium in Groundwater via an Electrolysis Process for Liquid Scintillation Counting Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tritium levels in the groundwater of arid regions are very low; most cases, these low tritium cannot be detected using a conventional liquid scintillation counter (LSC). To measure activity concentration, low-level needs to enriched by known factor so that can detect it. An electrolysis process with electrolytic cells was designed and fabricated our laboratory following International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) instructions. Nine spiked samples quantity were enriched, concentration measured counter. The water exhibits comparable level samples, albeit some degree uncertainty. A correlation drawn among activity, enrichment factor, required time for procedure. This study confirmed an approximately ten- fortyfold initial could achieved cells. simple design fabrication controlling various parameters make it affordable LSC. Various statistical analyses accuracy precision data obtained process. technique would prove valuable where extremely low, making them challenging

The production rate is 7.5 kg isotope C-14 yearly. The C-14 concentration stays approximately constant due to rapid mixing of the atmosphere, although the cosmic intensity is higher at the poles due to the deflection of charged cosmic particles along the magnetic field lines of the earth (corresponding to neutron intensities in the ratio 5:1 at the poles and the equator, respectively). Conseque...

It is most important to assure 4 π−geometry in liquid scintillation counting for accurate results1. Usually this can be assured by dissolution of the sample in an appropriate cocktail. The cocktail does not only contain a solvent but also at least one scintillator and surfactants for aqueous samples because aqueous samples are completely insoluble in the pure organic solvents and scintillators....

It was only with the discovery of the leprosy bacillus by Hansen that the true ...
