TY - JOUR A1 - Görner, Wolf A1 - Haase, Oskar A1 - Ostermann, Markus A1 - Segebade, Christian T1 - Instrumental analysis of phosphorus in organic material using high energy beta-counting after photoactivation (IPAA) N2 - C, N, O, F and P can be analyzed by instrumental photon activation analysis (IPAA) including decay curve analysis. The interference of 30P (T1/2 = 149.9 s) by 15O (T1/2 = 122.2 s) can be ruled out by direct positron measurement making use of the largely different maximum β+-energies of both nuclides (3.24 MeV and 1.73 MeV, respectively). Interference by carbon (11C) can be avoided by sub-threshold activation with 17 MeV bremsstrahlung. The short half-life of 30P allows a high productivity of the method. Reliability was demonstrated in the range of 0.2%–2% P (detection limit = 40 µg/g). Analysis of a certified reference material (BCR-CRM 063) yielded excellent agreement with the certified data.

A1 - Segebade, Christian T1 - BEAMGAA - A chance for high precision analysis of big samples N2 - In activation analysis of traces in small samples, the non-equivalence of the activating radiation doses of sample and calibration material gives rise to sometimes tolerable systematic errors. Conversely, analysis of major components usually demands high trueness and precision. To meet this, beam geometry activation analysis (BEAMGAA) procedures have been developed for instrumental photon (IPAA) and neutron activation analysis (INAA) in which the activating neutron/photon beam exhibits broad, flat-topped characteristics. This results in a very low lateral activating flux gradient compared to known radiation facilities, however, at significantly lower flux density. The axial flux gradient can be accounted for by a monitor-sample-monitor assembly. As a first approach, major components were determined in high purity substances as well as selenium in a cattle fodder additive.

The numbers of 64Zn and 64Ni atoms were analyzed using isotope dilution analysis combined with thermal ionization mass spectrometry. A ?- branching ratio of (38.06±0.30)% was obtained, which agrees with the study of Kawada (Appl. Radiat. Isot. 37 (1) (1986) 7) to a higher accuracy. However, our result differs from the value cited in the NUDAT database of (39.0±0.3)%.

T1 - Use of neutron transmutation doping for the preparation of a new candidate reference material for zinc determination in metallic copper N2 - A new application of neutron transmutation doping is described. The method is useful to prepare graded zinc contents in highly pure copper materials. The research reactor BER II at the Hahn-Meitner-Institute, Berlin served as a neutron source. The zinc content produced in the samples was analyzed by determining the 65Zn-activity via gamma-spectrometry. Simultaneously irradiated flux monitors were used to determine the neutron flux density. Since cylindrical sample geometries are favorable for a reference material application in optical emission (OE) spectroscopy, the spatial distribution of the induced activity in a cylinder with a diameter of 8 mm and a length of 35 mm was investigated.

T1 - The Problem of Large Samples - The Analysis of Electronic Waste Material N2 - Large-volume instrumental photon and neutron activation analysis (IPAA resp. INAA) was used for investigation of shredded electronic waste material. Sample masses from 1 to 150 grams were analysed to obtain an estimate of the minimum sample size to be taken to achieve a representativeness of the results which is satisfactory for a defined investigation task. Furthermore, the influence of irradiation and measurement parameters upon the quality of the analytical results were studied. Finally, the analytical data obtained from IPAA and instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA), both carried out in a large-volume mode, were compared. Values within the limits of satisfactory agreement were found only partially. Analytical process control using on-site X-ray fluorescence analysis performed during recycling of electronic waste is currently under development.
