Times Cited Count:3 Percentile:12.89(Chemistry, Physical)The reaction mechanism of the direct photoreduction of a Rh
ion complex to a Rh
species induced by pulsed ultraviolet laser irradiation was studied using dispersive X-ray absorption fine structure (DXAFS) spectroscopy. The time-resolved X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) showed the absence of isosbestic points and suggested that more than two Rh
species contribute toward the direct photoreduction of Rh
. Analysis of the time-resolved XANES data by singular value deposition showed that the direct photoreduction involves three Rh
species. Multivariate curve resolution by alternating least-squares analysis (MCR-ALS) of the time-resolved XANES data gave pure spectra and concentration profiles of the three Rh
species. The Rh
species were assigned to Rh
, Rh
, and Rh
species based on the features of the pure XANES spectra. The concentration profiles suggested that the direct photoreduction proceeds in the order of Rh

Rh
. A reaction mechanism, which was proposed involving photoreductions of Rh

, photoinduced autocatalytic reductions of Rh
and Rh
, and photooxidation of Rh
, well reproduced the concentration profiles of three Rh

m and a liquid sheet jet with a thickness of 20
m. Compared with the cylindrical jet, the liquid sheet jet effectively reduced the splash from the laser-irradiated surface and produced long-lived luminous plasma. The limit of detection (LOD) of Na was determined to be 0.57
g/L for the sheet jet and 10.5
g/L for the cylindrical jet. The LOD obtained for the sheet jet was comparable to those obtained for commercially available inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometers.

Times Cited Count:36 Percentile:88.34(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)Fiber-optic laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (FO-LIBS) was applied to a qualitative and quantitative analysis of gadolinium (Gd) in mixed oxide samples, simulating nuclear fuel debris in the damaged reactors of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. The surrogate debris was prepared from mixed oxide materials containing Gd
O
, with varying Gd concentrations. The emission spectra of the surrogate debris show that the optical emission lines at 501.5 nm and 510.3 nm are suitable for Gd detection in the nuclear fuel debris. LIBS measurements were further performed under gamma irradiation (0-10 kGy/h), resulting in a decrease in spectral intensities due to radiation-induced damage to the optical fiber. For quantification of Gd, robust calibration curves against gamma irradiation were established from the intensity ratio of Gd (501.5 nm)/Ce (474.5 nm) emission lines, yielding the limits of detection for Gd in the range of 0.03-0.08 wt%. These results demonstrate that FO-LIBS is a potential tool for in situ and remote analysis of nuclear fuel debris.

Times Cited Count:6 Percentile:20.78(Chemistry, Analytical)We measured X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) and Raman spectra of isopolymolybdates(VI) in HNO
solution (0.15- 4.0 M), which change their geometries depending on acid concentration, and performed simultaneous resolution of the XAFS and Raman data using a multivariate curve resolution by alternating least-squares (MCR-ALS) analysis. In iterative ALS optimization, initial data matrices were prepared by two different methods. The MCR-ALS result of single XAFS data matrix shows large dependence on the preparation method of the initial data matrices. The MCR-ALS result of an augmented matrix of Raman and XAFS data has little dependence on the initial data matrices. It indicates that the augmentation method effectively improves the rotation ambiguities in the MCR-ALS analysis of the XAFS data. Based on the model fitting of the pure EXAFS oscillations, we revealed the change of [Mo

Development of remote inspection and elemental analysis methods in a harsh radiation environment is required, such as inspection of the nuclear fuel debris at the bottom of the post-accident nuclear reactor (Tokyo Electric Power Company, Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant). Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has been utilized as an effective qualitative and quantitative analytical method for elemental analysis. Inspecting the damaged reactor vessels requires a longer fiber-optic (FO) cable, which significantly attenuates the delivered laser energy by absorption and scattering in the fiber. We report on the first trial of our FO-LIBS system using the microchip laser (MCL) to identify and quantify elements in surrogate nuclear fuel debris under gamma irradiation, the results of trials on surrogate debris analysis, containing uranium oxide, using the MCL, and the results of 100 m-long fiber-delivered LIBS.

When nanosecond pulsed UV laser is irradiated into a H
O / EtOH solution of platinum group metal (PGM) ions, PGM particles with sub-micron size are formed. We investigated laser induced particle formation of Pd
in the H
O / EtOH solution by in situ time-resolved XAFS spectroscopy and showed dependence of the reaction rate of laser-induced particle formation on the laser fluence. The dependence on the laser fluence elucidated that the photons contribute not only to the reduction of the Pd
, but also to the autocatalytic growth of the Pd particles.

The reaction mechanism of the direct photo-reduction of a Rh
ion complex to a Rh
species was studied using dispersive X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. The time-resolved X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) showed the absence of isosbestic points. It suggested that more than two Rhn+ species contribute toward the reaction. We applied singular value deposition to the time-resolved XANES data and showed the contribution of three Rh
species to the direct photoreduction. Next, in order to extract spectral information on the Rh
intermediate, we analyzed the time-resolved XANES data using multivariate curve resolution analysis, which gives pure spectra and concentration profile of the Rh
species. Finally, based on feature of the pure spectrum, we assigned the Rh
intermediate to the Rh
species.
