A new analytical technique utilizing the PdI2 target for measurement of 129I in environmental samples by accelerator mass spectrometry
摘要
A series of in-house PdI2 standards appropriate for AMS was prepared by quantitatively mixing the 129I/127I isotope standard solution and 127I solution. The dominant interferences from 104,105Pd4+ were successfully suppressed by adjusting the electrostatic cylindrical analyser, etc., to select the ion beams finely. As a result, the 129I/127I atom ratios of PdI2 prepared from the seawater and dolomite samples agreed with those prepared as AgI, respectively. The pretreatment time for the new method was shortened by 33% compared to the conventional method. This study demonstrated a new approach to 129I analysis in AMS that departs from conventional methods.
