Description

Multielemental analysis of water samples taken from the area of manzala lake in the east-north of river Nile delta of egypt, has been performed. Prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) technique is applied to determine the elemental concentrations. The samples have been irradiated by means of (PGNAA) facility using a Cf 252 isotopic neutron source with a total flux of 1.5 x 105 n cm2 s-1 for 300 min irradiation time. The evaluation of Cd, Gd, Sm, Pb, Zn, Co and Hg as trace elements in these samples is reported. 1 fig., 2 tabs
