Chemical Shift: Internal References and Solvent Effects

697
In an NMR sample, precise measurement of the absolute absorption frequencies of nuclei is difficult. A standard internal reference compound is added, and the frequency difference between the reference signal and sample signals is measured.
The internal reference compound generally used in NMR spectroscopy is tetramethylsilane (TMS). TMS is preferred because it is chemically inert, soluble in NMR solvents, and easily removable. Also, the highly shielded methyl protons in TMS yield an intense...

Nuclear Fission

9.8K
Many heavier elements with smaller binding energies per nucleon can decompose into more stable elements that have intermediate mass numbers and larger binding energies per nucleon—that is, mass numbers and binding energies per nucleon that are closer to the “peak” of the binding energy graph near 56. Sometimes neutrons are also produced. This decomposition of a large nucleus into smaller pieces is called fission. The breaking is rather random with the formation of a large...

Area of Science:

  • Radiochemistry
  • Metrology
  • Environmental Science

Background:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Guide 35 mandates homogeneity assessment for reference materials.
  • The INSIDER project requires the development of suitable reference materials for accurate radionuclide analysis.
  • Liquid effluent tank waste from JRC Ispra was identified as a potential source for reference material development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To produce a liquid reference material characterized for radionuclide content.
  • To evaluate the homogeneity of selected radionuclides within the developed reference material.
  • To ensure the reference material meets accuracy requirements for the INSIDER project.

Main Methods:

  • Production of liquid reference material using JRC Ispra effluent tank waste.
  • Characterization of radionuclide content with accuracy better than 10% at the 95% confidence level.
  • Homogeneity testing of the developed liquid reference material.

Main Results:

  • Successfully produced a liquid reference material from JRC Ispra effluent tank waste.
  • Demonstrated radionuclide content characterization with accuracy exceeding the 10% threshold at 95% confidence.
  • Evaluated and confirmed the homogeneity of key radionuclides within the reference material.

Conclusions:

  • The developed liquid reference material is suitable for its intended use within the INSIDER project.
  • The homogeneity assessment confirms the material's reliability for accurate radionuclide measurements.
  • This work supports the metrological requirements for environmental radioactivity monitoring.
