| Popis: | Uranium in groundwater samples collected from Punjab state, India was determined using radiometric methods (extractive liquid scintillation and Cerenkov counting). Experimental conditions were optimized by studying the effect of sample pH, quenching and amount of extracting agent added to the scintillation cocktail on recovery of uranium. To ensure the accuracy of results, both radiometric methods were compared with non radiometric method such as adsorptive stripping voltammetry and found to be very good agreement. The distinct advantage of proposed radiometric methods is almost 100 % effective especially extractive liquid scintillation for simultaneous measurement of alpha and beta emitting radionuclides with fast and simple sample preparation. |
