Abstract
The new electrolytic enrichment system with compact glass cell was designed. Three (Ni-Fe-Ni) electrodes are used, and electrolysis is carried out at a rate of 2.45 g per h with constant current density of 120 mA per cm2. This enrichment system allows the enrichment for small, limited sample volumes (e.g. Tritiated Water (HTO) recovered from air). With an initial water volume of 100 ml, the tritium enrichment factor of 7 within 2 days and a detection limit of 0.12 Bq per L can be obtained by Liquid Scintillation Counter (LSC) measurement for 1000 minutes, which is better than the direct measurement with 50 ml sample water using large vial. It is also possible to perform the high enrichment process. The initial sample volume of 700 ml enriched for 12 days by manual refilling yields a tritium enrichment factor of around 43 and detection limit of 0.02 Bq per L for 1000 minutes of LSC measurement.
期刊介绍：
Radiation Protection Dosimetry covers all aspects of personal and environmental dosimetry and monitoring, for both ionising and non-ionising radiations. This includes biological aspects, physical concepts, biophysical dosimetry, external and internal personal dosimetry and monitoring, environmental and workplace monitoring, accident dosimetry, and dosimetry related to the protection of patients. Particular emphasis is placed on papers covering the fundamentals of dosimetry; units, radiation quantities and conversion factors. Papers covering archaeological dating are included only if the fundamental measurement method or technique, such as thermoluminescence, has direct application to personal dosimetry measurements. Papers covering the dosimetric aspects of radon or other naturally occurring radioactive materials and low level radiation are included. Animal experiments and ecological sample measurements are not included unless there is a significant relevant content reason.
