Investigation of two slag samples using k0 neutron activation analysis through different standardization methods
Instrumental neutron activation analysis was used to determine concentrations of several major and trace elements in two slag samples. One slag supplied by one of Steel factory and the other one by an Aluminum factory of Egypt. The aim of the present work is to study the accuracy and precision of In...

| Summary: | Instrumental neutron activation analysis was used to determine concentrations of several major and trace elements in two slag samples. One slag supplied by one of Steel factory and the other one by an Aluminum factory of Egypt. The aim of the present work is to study the accuracy and precision of Internal Comparator k0 and external comparator k0 methods in industrial application. The two slag samples together with an international reference material Soil-7 and two thin gold foils samples (one bare and the other covered with cadmium) were irradiated at the core of the Second Research Egyptian Reactor ET-RR-2 of about 13x10 13n/(cm s). The elemental concentration of 46Sc, 51Cr, 60Co, 65Zn, 74As, 82Br, 85Sr, 86Zr, 110mAg, 122Sb, 134Cs, 131Ba, 140La, 141Ce, 147Nd, 153Sm, 152Eu, 153Gd, 166Ho, 169Yb, 175Hf, 182Ta, 198Au and 233Pa (232Th-series) were calculated. |
