Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:19.71(Chemistry, Analytical)The technique of sequential separation for U, Th, Pb, lanthanides and Pu using a single anion-exchange column and mixed acids media were developed. An automatic system utilizing a small column and pressurized gas was assembled for this sequential separation. By adjusting the eluent chemical composition for Pu separation, this separation technique has been achieved. Some pieces of tree ring sample were digested, and ultra-trace U and Pu in the samples were separated by this system. The analytical results of U and Pu measured by mass spectrometry will be mentioned.

Times Cited Count:8 Percentile:31.37(Biochemical Research Methods)Age of individual uranium-plutonium mixed particles with various U/Pu atomic ratios were determined by inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Micron-sized particles were prepared from U and Pu certified reference materials. The Pu reference was stored for 4-6 years since the last purification. The Pu purification age was obtained from the Am/Pu ratio which was calculated from the product of three measured ratios of Pu and Am isotopes in the eluted fractions. Am, U and Pu in a sample solution were sequentially separated a small anion-exchange column. The Am/Pu ratio was accurately determined by spiking pure Am to the sample solution. The determined age of particles with various U/Pu ratios was in good agreement with the expected age with high accuracy and high precision.

Times Cited Count:6 Percentile:21.67(Chemistry, Analytical)Uranium, Thorium, lead, and the lanthanides were automatically and sequentially separated with a single anion-exchange column. This separation was achieved using eluents consisting of simple and highly pure acid mixture of HCl, HNO, acetic acid, and HF. This simple, automatic system is driven with pressurized nitrogen gas, and controlled by a computer program. For an evaluation examination, a reference powdered rock sample was separated by using this system. Abundances of objective elements, including 0.23 ng of lutetium, were accurately determined without corrections of chemical recovery yield or subtraction of processing blank. This separation technique saves time and effort for chemical processing, and it is useful for ultra-trace quantitative and isotopic analyses of elements in small environmental samples.
