Times Cited Count:6 Percentile:21.49(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.

As a part of release evaluation in VEGA program, the mass balances of released and deposited FP onto the test apparatus are estimated from gamma ray measurement for acid solution leached from the apparatus, but short-life or radionuclides without emitting rays and very small quantity of elements cannot be quantified. Therefore, a microanalysis by ICP-AES is planed for acid solution leached from apparatuses. Since Cs have strong ray spectrum, they have to be removed from solution in advance to avoid contamination of ICP system and to decrease exposure to ray. The method for Cs separation using inorganic ion exchanger, AMP was applied to the test solutions. The results showed that more than 99.9% of Cs could be removed from test solution, and once removed Sb by AMP was recovered by using a complexing agent such as citric acid. The ICP-AES analysis showed that amount of U, Sr and Zr were successfully quantified. The release and deposition will be quantified through ICP-AES analysis for acid solutions from which Cs is separated by AMP or other precipitation method.
