Description

90Sr is one of the main components of fallout activity and accidental release from nuclear facilities Sr is accumulated in bone tissue and the high energy beta particles from its daughter 90Y cause damage to bone marrow. Earlier, Horwitz et al developed a solid extraction chromatography (SEC) method using crown ether for the selective extraction of strontium. Sr resin (Sr-spec resin, Eichrom Industries) consists of the crown ether 4, 4' (5')-bis(tert-butylcyclohexano)-18-crown-6 dissolved in 1-octanol sorbed on an inert polymeric support. It possesses selectivity of solvent extraction, the ease of column chromatography. The present paper describes the determination of 90Sr in environmental samples using Sr spec resin based solid phase extraction method
