    4、utron fluence ratesabove 108cm2s1can be determined. However, in the pres-ence of a high thermal-neutron fluence rate (for example, 2 31014cm2s1)54Mn depletion should be investigated.1.4 Detailed procedures describing the use of other fast-neutron detectors are referenced in Practice E 261.1.5 This s

    16、.554Mn has a half-life of 312.11 days (2) and emits agamma ray with an energy of 834.848 keV. (3)45.6 Interfering activities generated by neutron activationarising from thermal or fast neutron interactions are 2.58-h56Mn, 44.5-d59Fe, and 5.271-y60Co. (Consult Ref (2) for moreprecise values currently

    17、 accepted for the half-lives.) Interfer-ence from56Mn can be eliminated by waiting 48 h beforecounting. Although chemical separation of54Mn from theirradiated iron is the most effective method for eliminating59Fe and60Co, direct counting of iron for54Mn is possibleusing high-resolution detector syst

    18、ems or unfolding or strip-ping techniques, especially if the dosimeter was covered withcadmium or boron during irradiation. Altering the isotopiccomposition of the iron dosimeter is another useful techniquefor eliminating interference from extraneous activities whendirect sample counting is to be em

    19、ployed.5.7 The vapor pressures of manganese and iron are such thatmanganese diffusion losses from iron can become significant attemperatures above about 700C. Therefore, precautions mustbe taken to avoid the diffusion loss of54Mn from irondosimeters at high temperature. Encapsulating the iron dosim-

    20、eter in quartz or vanadium will contain the manganese attemperatures up to about 900C.5.8 Sections 6, 7 and 8 that follow were specifically writtento describe the method of chemical separation and subsequentcounting of the54Mn activity.When one elects to count the irondosimeters directly, those port

    21、ions of Sections 6, 7 and 8 thatpertain to radiochemical separation should be disregarded.NOTE 1The following portions of this test method apply also to directsample-counting methods: 6.1-6.3, 7.4, 7.9, 7.10, 8.1-8.5, 8.18, 8.19, and9-12.6.

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

(See Gu

    30、ide E 844.)7.10 The purity of the iron is important in that no impuritiesshould be present which produce long-lived radionuclides thatinterfere with the54Mn radioassay. This condition includesspecies that will accompany54Mn through the separationscheme and that have gamma rays, of energy 0.6 MeV orh

    31、igher. The presence of impurities may be determined either byemission spectroscopy or by activation analysis.8. Procedure (Note 1)8.1 Decide on the size and shape of the iron sample to beirradiated. Consider convenience in handling and availableirradiation space when making this selection, but it is

    32、 moreimportant to ensure that sufficient54Mn activity will beproduced to permit accurate radioassay. A preliminary calcu-lation of the expected production of54Mn, using the activationequation described in Section 9, will aid in selecting the massof iron required.8.2 Determine a suitable irradiation

    33、time.8.3 Weigh the iron sample. The chemical manipulationsdescribed below function best with an iron dosimeter weighing10 to 20 mg.NOTE 2It is necessary to avoid a high iron concentration in thesolutions that are to be used for separation so that the efficiency of theion-exchange resin will not be s

    34、eriously lowered. For the columndescribed herein the amount of iron let onto the resin should not exceed1 mg.8.4 Irradiate the samples for the predetermined time period.Record the power level and any changes in power during theirradiation, the time at the beginning and end of the irradiation,and the

    35、 relative position of the monitors in the irradiationfacility.8.5 A waiting period of 2 days is recommended betweentermination of the exposure and the start of counting. Thisallows 2.58-h56Mn, produced by fast-neutron reactions with56Fe and also by thermal-neutron activation of impurity man-ganese,

    36、to decay below levels at which it may cause error in the54Mn assay. Check the samples for activity from cross con-tamination by other monitors or material irradiated in thevicinity, and for any foreign substance adhering to the sample.Clean, if necessary, and reweigh. If direct-counting techniquesar

    37、e used, disregard the remaining procedures to step 8.18.8.6 After irradiation, dissolve the sample in 10 mL ofconcentrated hydrochloric acid to which 2 drops of nitric acidhave been added. The solution may be heated gently to hastendissolution.8.7 After dissolution is complete, transfer the solution

    38、 withwashing to a 25-mL volumetric flask. Wash only with concen-trated hydrochloric acid and use this also in diluting to thecalibration mark on the volumetric flask.8.8 Prepare a slurry of anion exchange resin with distilled ordeionized water and pour it into the ion exchange columnapparatus (see F

    39、ig. 2) to a height of 100 mm. Place aglass-wool plug above the resin and keep the column underliquid at all times.8.9 Prepare the ion exchange column for use by passingconcentrated hydrochloric acid through until it completelydisplaces the water used to form the resin slurry.8.10 Transfer an aliquot

    40、 of the sample solution by volumet-ric pipet to the empty funnel above the column. This aliquotshould be of sufficient volume so that accurate counting datacan be obtained.8.11 Run the sample onto the column.8.12 Immediately pour a few millilitres from a premeasured50-mL volume of hydrochloric acid

    41、(1+3) into the funnel towash any remaining sample solution onto the column.8.13 Place a 50-mL volumetric flask, to which 1 mL ofMnCl2carrier solution has been added, under the tip of thecolumn and open the column stopcock.8.14 Add the remaining hydrochloric acid (1+3) to thefunnel and adjust the sto

    42、pcock to obtain a flow rate of about 1drop in 5 to 10 s. This will allow elution of a 50-mL volume inabout 2 h.8.15 Elute from the column until the solution reaches thecalibration mark on the volumetric flask.NOTE 3To prepare the ion exchange resin for further separations, runabout 50 mL of distille

    43、d or deionized water through the column. This willremove iron and cobalt from the resin. Regenerate the column as before bypassing concentrated hydrochloric acid through until the acid completelydisplaces the water.NOTE 4The54Mn recovery should be checked by passing a known54Mn spike solution and ir

    44、on carrier through the column.8.16 Stopper the flask and invert several times to mix thecontents thoroughly.8.17 Remove an accurately measured aliquot from thevolumetric flask for radioassay.A1-mLsample is convenient ifthe counting is to be done with a well-type scintillationdetector. If assay is to

    45、 be made using a solid crystal, the aliquotcan be deposited into a cup planchet and dried under a heatlamp.8.18 Analyze the samples for54Mn content in disintegra-tions per second using the gamma ray spectrometer (see TestMethods E 181 and E 1005).8.19 Disintegration of an54Mn nucleus produces onegam
