Development of the NIST Standard Sequential Extraction Protocol – Optimization for the Freshwater Lake Sediment SRM
نویسندگان
چکیده
Numerous sites worldwide have been identified as having significant radioactive contamination, either as a result of routine or accidental releases. The radiological impact of this contamination depends on the extent to which the radionuclides are taken up by organisms, including humans. The mobility, and thus availability, of the radionuclides is greatly determined by the physico-chemical form (speciation) of the radionuclides in the soil or sediment in question.

متن کاملA new river sediment standard reference material.
The collection, processing and certification of a new sediment Standard Reference Material (SRM), SRM 2704, is described. Collected from the bottom of the Buffalo River in New York State during the fall of 1986, SRM 2704 is certified for 25 elements with information provided on another 22 elements. Improvements in analytical methods as well as the application of well-defined quality-control pro...
متن کاملAluminum control of phosphorus sorption by lake sediments.
Release of reactive (phosphate-like) phosphorus (P) from freshwater sediments represents a significant internal P source for many lakes. Hypolimnetic P release occurs under reducing conditions that cause reductive dissolution of ferric hydroxide [Fe(OH)3]. This hypolimnetic P release may be naturally low or artificially reduced by sediment with naturally high or artificially elevated concentrat...
متن کاملThermophilic sulfate reduction in hydrothermal sediment of lake tanganyika, East Africa.
In environments with temperatures above 60 degrees C, thermophilic prokaryotes are the only metabolically active life-forms. By using the SO(4) tracer technique, we studied the activity of sulfate-reducing microorganisms (SRM) in hot sediment from a hydrothermal vent site in the northern part of freshwater Lake Tanganyika (East Africa). Incubation of slurry samples at 8 to 90 degrees C demonstr...

In this study, a ZnO@Ag2O@Fe3O4 nanocomposite as an innovative magnetic solid phase extraction agent was introduced. The structural and morphological properties of the as-prepared nano-sorbent were characterized using X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption–desorption techniques. The synthesized mag...
