Study of agate using the OSL technique and application in
نویسندگان
چکیده
The possibility of using Brazilian stones in gamma high-dose dosimetry was investigated at IPEN using the optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) technique. Agate samples were studied in relation to their OSL dosimetric properties, in this work. The samples were irradiated at a Gamma-Cell system (Co). The calibration curves show a sublinear behavior between 50 Gy and 300 kGy, and the lower detection limits for the OSL pellets were determined. The results were satisfactory for application in high-dose dosimetry.

Silica (agate-jasper) mineralization in the Chah Andoo plain, SW Damqan by Micro-Raman spectroscopy
The Chah Andoo plain is located about 100 km SW Damqan in Semnan Province. Basalt, andesite-basalt, tuff and metamorphic rocks are the main rocks which exposed in the study area. Agate, jasper and agate–jasper are silica minerals widespread at the plain surface as crushed fragments from a few millimeters to 0.5 meter in dimension. Banded (mono centric), stalactite (landscape), mossy and thunder...
متن کاملOSL technique for studies of jasper samples
Jasper samples (green, red, brown, ocean and striped) were studied in relation to their optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dosimetric properties, in this work. Since 2000, the radiation metrology group of IPEN has studied different stones as new materials for application in high-dose dosimetry. The jasper samples were exposed to different radiation doses, using the Gamma-cell 220 system (C...

The application of synthetic colors in textile industries and their entry into the water and groundwater is an environmental problem because of being very toxic material. The synthetic colors which are used in textile dyeing (plyacrilic and polyester) are usually dispersing colorants. They derive the azo and anthraquinone chemicals. Electro-Fenton process is an efficient technique which can deg...

In the dating of sediments by luminescence methods, to obtain a sample the purest possible as to its mineralogy determines the rest of the analytical procedures. The isolation of the sample minerals is a critical stage due to the impossibility of quantifying the relative contributions to the dose from the different minerals. In this paper we propose a non chemical method to isolate quartz from ...
