MEASUREMENT OF D2O IN WATER USING 2H(?,n)1H REACTION

Authors: not saved
Abstract:

Utilization of Photodisintegration reaction of Deuterium, 2H(?,n)1H, is a precise technique for determining the percentage of 2H in tritiated and natural water. The 23Na(n,?)24Na reaction is a suitable ?-source for producing the 2H(?,n)1H reaction. Tehran Research Reactor was used as a neutron source for producing 24Na isotopes. The BF3 detectors were used to detect the neutron emission of H2 content of water. We obtained a linear calibration plot by repeating the experiment with many samples of different concentrations of tritiated water. With this simple portable apparatus which have been used for this purpose for the first time, and corresponding linear plot, we can monitor and determine easily and accurately the 2H concentration of an unknown sample.

MEASUREMENT OF D 2 O IN WATER USING 2 H ( γ , n ) 1 H REACTION

Utilization of Photodisintegration reaction of Deuterium, H(γ,n)H, is a precise technique for determining the percentage of H in tritiated and natural water. The Na(n,γ)Na reaction is a suitable γ-source for producing the H(γ,n)H reaction. Tehran Research Reactor was used as a neutron source for producing Na isotopes. The BF3 detectors were used to detect the neutron emission of H2 content of w...

Effects of heavy water (D2O) on human pancreatic tumor cells.

BACKGROUND Pancreatic cancer constitutes an entity which is difficult to treat and, therefore, mostly fatal. Since heavy water (deuterium oxide, D2O) was shown to be active in various cancer cell lines in vitro and in vivo, we now investigated its effects in human pancreatic tumor cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS The cytotoxic effects of D2O were examined in three pancreatic cancer cell lines (As...

Altitude measurement using laser beam reflected from water surface

In this paper altitude measurement from water surface using laser beam is presented. Research data indicate that the reflection of infrared waves from water surface is about zero and it is less than 2% for visible radiations. Phase-shift and heterodyne technique was used for the measurement, and the laser beam ( mW p nm 10 , 700 = = l ) was modulated by a sine wave having a fixed frequency....

Measurement of Fluoride Concentration in Semnan Drinking Water Distribution

Background: The existence of fluoride ion in potable water has distinctive effects on human health. Fluoride is attracted by positively charged calcium in teeth and bones due to its strong electro-negativity which results in dental, skeletal, and non-skeletal forms of xuorosis and associated health complaints in children as well as adults. Methods: Water samples from groundwater used for dri...
