Applications of a mono-standard NAA method using upgraded Apsara research reactor for trace element determination in glass matrices
The k0-based Internal Mono-standard Neutron Activation Analysis (IM-NAA) technique was optimized utilizing a core irradiation position at the Apsara-U research reactor of BARC, Mumbai, India. The cadmium ratio method was utilized to evaluate the epi-thermal neutron shape parameter, α, using both dual and multiple monitor methods and the f-value was derived from 197Au. The IM-NAA and the conventional k0-NAA methods were validated by analyzing SMELS-II (synthetic multi-element standards from IRMM), whereas United States Geological Survey Certified Reference Material (USGS CRM), Granite (G-2) and Rhyolite Glass Mountain (RGM-1) were analyzed to evaluate the accuracy of k0-NAA and IM-NAA methods utilizing 197Au and 45Sc as mono standards. The determined concentrations were found to be in good agreement with certified or recommended values, and this is supported by calculated Z-scores in the range of ±(0.1–1), for many elements in SMELS-II, G-2 & RGM-1 at 95.5 % confidence level. The IMNAA method, utilizing Sc as the mono-standard was utilized to determine mostly trace elemental concentrations in two different soda-lime glass samples. The IMNAA method, utilized for analyzing USGS CRM RGM-1 and one Glass sample was further compared with relative NAA method.
期刊介绍:
Radiation Physics and Chemistry is a multidisciplinary journal that provides a medium for publication of substantial and original papers, reviews, and short communications which focus on research and developments involving ionizing radiation in radiation physics, radiation chemistry and radiation processing.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria. This could include papers that are very similar to previous publications, only with changed target substrates, employed materials, analyzed sites and experimental methods, report results without presenting new insights and/or hypothesis testing, or do not focus on the radiation effects.
