Description

The analytical yield of gamma emitters is seawater by coprecipitation method with nickel hexacyanoferrate (II) and iron (III) hydroxide was confirmed using spiked radioisotope (137Cs) and stable elements. Ninety-nine% of spiked 137Cs was absorbed on nickel hexacyanoferrate (II), and 88-94% of spiked Ce, Co, Mn, Ru, Zn, Zr was adsorbed on iron (III) hydroxide. This analytical method is considered to be very efficient and practical for environmental radiation monitoring from the view of quick and simple operation, especially easy analysis of plural samples.
