DETERMINATION OF IRON IN GLASS AND COBALT VIA CHARGED-PARTICLE ACTIVATION-ANALYSIS Academic Article

abstract

• Destructive and nondestructive procedures have been developed for the determination of iron by charged particle activation analysis. Reaction yields on thick iron targets with proton, deuteron, helium-3, and helium-4 beams have been compared. The most favorable reactions for destructive and nondestructive analysis were the 54Fe(p,pn)53Fe and 56Fe(p,n)56Co reactions, respectively. The nondestructive analyses were performed on glass while destructive determinations, including radiochemical separation, were applied to high purity cobalt. Yields from thick target experiments indicate that Fe determinations can be made at the 50-ppb level. Activation curves for many charged particle-induced reactions on Fe are presented along with considerations of possible interfering reactions. 1974, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
