Scope1.1 This guide covers the determination of neptunium-237in soil by means of radiochemical separations and alphaspectrometry. This guide provides options in

    3、the selection ofsample preparation, separation, and measurement. Althoughneptunium-237 is not a component of global fallout, it is aproduct of production reactors and spent fuel processing. Thisguide is designed for analysis of ten grams of soil previouslycollected and treated in accordance with Pra

Larger-size samples of environmental soil may also beanalyzed, as long as the concentrations of interferences such asuranium and thorium are at or near environmental concentra-tions.

Summary of Guide4.1 This guide may be used to determine neptunium-237 insoil at potential release sites. A neptunium-239 yield monitor isadded

    17、to the soil aliquot and the sample solubilized by one ofseveral methods, such as those described in Guide C1387. Theneptunium is separated from the resulting solution using anextraction chromatography column. A valence adjustment isperformed prior to loading the sample onto the conditionedchromatogr

    18、aphy column. The sample is passed through thecolumn, which retains the neptunium in the +4 oxidation state.The column is washed to remove interferences and selectivelyeluted with dilute acid. The samples are prepared for measure-ment by neodymium fluoride co-precipitation orelectrodeposition, and th

Significance and Use5.1 A soil sampling and analysis program provides a directmeans of determining the concentration and distribution ofradionuclides in soil. The pr

    20、esence and extent of neptunium-237 is of particular interest because it is one of the more mobiletransuranics in terms of migration and plant uptake. Since soilis an integrator and a reservoir on long-lived radionuclides, andserves as an intermediary in several pathways of potentialimportance to hum

    21、ans, knowledge of the concentration ofneptunium-237 in soil is essential.6. Interferences6.1 Phosphates present in the sample matrix will interferewith the separation chemistry. Aluminum nitrate may be addedto the load solution to minimize this problem.6.2 High concentrations of uranium or thorium c

    22、an overloadthe column, resulting in low recoveries of neptunium orspectral interferences. A preliminary separation may be re-quired to avoid spectral interference from uranium, see TestMethod C1000. The presence of uranium-233 and uranium-234 could cause spectral interferences with the neptunium-237

Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended thatall reagents shall conform to the specifications of the Commit-tee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Societywhere such specifications are available.5Other grades may beused, provided it is first ascertained that the reage

    30、is typically required to obtain the desired precision with a60-min count duration. Another option is the addition of aknown quantity of americium-243, in secular equilibrium withneptunium-239, directly to the sample. This approach has theadvantage of allowing the use of americium-243 solutions ofNIS

    31、T-traceable activity. Where gamma-ray counting is used todetermine the neptunium-239 yield, a larger amount of activity,for example, 120 to 1200 Bq, may be required to obtain thedesired precision with a 10-min count duration dependent onthe use of a NaI(TI) or HPGe detector. In this situation, it ma

    34、ch has the advantage of conserving theamericium-243 parent with the neptunium-239 activity beingreplenished over time. However, it has the disadvantage thatthe neptunium-239 activity of the milked solution must bedetermined with high precision in order to not adversely impactthe precision of the sam

When using vacuum-assisted flow, it is essential to ensure that flow rates do notexceed 1 mL/min for load solutions and strip solutions, and 2mL/min for the rinse solutions.

Precautions9.1 Refer to the laboratorys chemical hygiene plan andother applicable guidance for handling chemical and radioac-tive materials and for the management of radioactive, mixed,and hazardous waste.9.2 Hydrofluoric acid is a highly corrosive acid that canseverely burn skin, eyes, and mu

    39、cous membranes. Hydroflu-oric acid differs from other acids because the fluoride ionreadily penetrates the skin, causing destruction of deep tissuelayers. Unlike other acids that are rapidly neutralized, hydro-fluoric acid reactions with tissue may continue for days if leftuntreated. Familiarization

    40、 and compliance with the Safety DataSheet is essential.10. Sampling10.1 Collect the sample in accordance with Practice C998.10.2 Prepare the sample for analysis in accordance withPractice C999.11. Sample Solubilization11.1 Weigh 10.0 g of dried and prepared soil and addneptunium-239 yield monitor in

    41、 either a separated form or insecular equilibrium with americium-243. As indicated in 8.12,either beta counting using Test Method D1890 or gamma-rayspectrometry using Practice D4962 may be utilized for count-ing the neptunium-239 yield monitor. The amount ofneptunium-239 yield monitor activity utili

    42、zed is dependent onthe selected counting technique, the efficiency of the countingtechnique, and the desired counting duration. Obtaining ap-proximately 10 000 net counts from neptunium-239 by what-ever counting technique is used will produce a Poissoncounting uncertainty of about 1 % at one standar

    43、d deviation.Given the short half-life of neptunium-239, delay in itscounting will reduce the number of counts obtained withresulting increase in counting uncertainty.11.2 A number of methods are available to solubilize soilsamples to prepare them for radiochemical analysis. Threefrequently used tech

    44、niques are acid leaching, fusion, andmicrowave digestion. Leaching procedures are described inTest Methods C1000 and C1001. A general overview of allthree methods is provided in Guide C1387 along with refer-ences to detailed procedures. Other methods include proce-dures for dissolution of silicates

    45、or acid-resistant matrixsamples in Practice C1317, dissolution of solid samples byfusion in Practice C1342, and the microwave dissolution ofglass in Practice C1412. The choice of specific dissolutionmethod is left to the laboratory conducting this analysis.12. Procedure12.1 Prepare any blanks, spike

    46、s, duplicates, or othersamples required by the laboratory protocols as part of thisanalysis in accordance with 11.2.12.2 All undigested solids should be removed by filtrationor centrifugation prior to performing this purification proce-dure. Evaporate the samples to near dryness on a hot plate setat

    47、 approximately 110C.12.3 Remove the sample beakers from the hot plate andallow them to cool to room temperature.12.4 Add 5 mL of 2.5 M HNO3-0.5 M Al(NO3)3to eachbeaker and swirl to dissolve the residue.12.5 Add 0.4 mLof 1.0 M ferrous sulfamate solution to eachbeaker.12.6 Add 0.5 mL of 3.0 M sodium n

    48、itrite to each samplebeaker.712.7 Allow the samples to sit at room temperature for 30 to40 min. The sample beakers should be swirled occasionally tofacilitate the reaction.812.8 During the incubation period called for in 12.7, preparethe extraction chromatography columns.12.9 For prepackaged columns

    49、, break off the tip and allowthe water to drip through into an appropriate waste container.6Information on the generation and use of americium-243 cows to obtainneptunium-239 can be obtained from: Garraway, J., and Wilson, P.
