Abstract:
239Pu in many soil samples should be analyzed to survey radioactive pollution level in nuclear facilities and its affinity environment efficiently. In order to input the opt conditions for column experiment, the experiments of the static adsorption coefficient of
239Pu to solid phase extraction disk with different contact time, concentration of HNO
3 and different temperature were carried out. The chemical procedure for the rapid separation and determination of
239Pu in soils had been formulated, which using solid phase extraction disk (Empore
TM Anion Exchange-SR) as extraction material and liquid scintillation spectrometry counting as measurement. In the procedure, soil sample usage was 10 g, and were leached by 8 mol/L HNO
3, the chemical recovery of the procedure was about 78.9%, and the minimum detectable concentration was 3.7 Bq/kg. It took less than 3 hours once and the presence of
137Cs,
90Sr-
90Y and natural uranium,
241Am,
99Tc did not interfere with the procedure, owning high DF of them. The procedure can be used extensively in determination of
239Pu in soils.
