Abstract

Language:

The determination of naturally occurring radionuclides in the environment by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry of high resolution (ICP-SFMS) has gained recognition over the last fifteen years, relative to the radiometric techniques, as the result of improvement in instrumental performance, sample introduction equipment and sample preparation. With the increase in instrumental sensitivity, it is now possible to measure ultratrace levels of many radioisotopes. The aim of this work was to determine the natural radionuclides (232Th, 234U, 235U and 238U) in surface water using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Sector Field Mass Spectrometry (ICP-SFMS). The samples were collected from the Lerma river, State of Mexico from February to April 2015. The treatment of the samples consisted of performing an acid digestion according to the 3015A USEPA method followed by direct measurement in ICP-SFMS. Results obtained identified the presence of 232Th, 234U, 235U and 238U isotopes in water, with isotopic ratios of 234U/238U=1.133 ± 0.016. ICP-SFMS has gained popularity in the field of radiochemistry, particularly as a method of detection for long-lived actinides.
