Fecha de publicación: | 2018 | Editor: | Elsevier | Citación: | Talanta 178: 202-210 (2018) | Resumen: | In this work we present and evaluate a radiochemical procedure optimised for the analysis of U and Pu in seawater samples by Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS). The method is based on Fe(OH) co-precipitation of actinides and uses TEVA® and UTEVA® extraction chromatography resins in a simplified way for the final U and Pu purification. In order to improve the performance of the method, the radiochemical yields are analysed in 1 to 10 L seawater volumes using alpha spectrometry (AS) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Robust 80% plutonium recoveries are obtained; however, it is found that Fe(III) concentration in the precipitation solution and sample volume are the two critical and correlated parameters influencing the initial uranium extraction through Fe(OH) co-precipitation. Therefore, we propose an expression that optimises the sample volume and Fe(III) amounts according to both the U and Pu concentrations in the samples and the performance parameters of the AMS facility. The method is validated for the current setup of the 1 MV AMS system (CNA, Sevilla, Spain), where He gas is used as a stripper, by analysing a set of intercomparison seawater samples, together with the Laboratory of Ion Beam Physics (ETH, Zürich, Switzerland). | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/158608 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.talanta.2017.09.026 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1016/j.talanta.2017.09.026 issn: 0039-9140 e-issn: 1873-3573 |
