Abstract:
Radionuclides,
7Be and
210Pb, are used to calibrate efficiency of HPGe γ spectro-meter system. It has been reported that
7Be and
210Pb in aerosol samples could be extracted and transferred into a solution for preparation of efficiency calibration source through a series of chemical processes. In the present study we investigated the chemical procedures for extraction of
7Be and
210Pb from aerosol filter samples. A muffle was used to burning aerosol filter samples to ashes, and concentrated HF, HNO
3, and HClO
4 were used to digest ashing sample. Then,
7Be and
210Pb in ashing sample can be extracted into the solution. The time is set to 5h for burning aerosol samples to ashes, and the temperature is 500℃. The extraction technique is shown that
7Be and
210Pb in 0.42 g ashing samples can be extracted into the solution completely by digesting more than 5 times.
