Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Accurate detection of aqueous plutonium (Pu) in water is crucial for environmental monitoring.
  • Existing methods for Pu detection can be complex and time-consuming.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate novel hybrid extractive scintillating resins (HESR) for simultaneous uptake and detection of aqueous plutonium.
  • To assess the performance of HESR for plutonium detection in groundwater and surface water.

Main Methods:

  • HESR were synthesized by embedding titanium dioxide (TiO 2) within a scintillating polymer matrix.
  • Physical characteristics were analyzed using thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.
  • Batch uptake experiments were conducted using plutonium-238 (Pu(V)) with varying resin compositions and contact times.

Main Results:

  • The HESR containing 57 wt% TiO 2 (HESR (57)) demonstrated a plutonium uptake of 88.9 ± 4.9 Bq/g.
  • A high conditional distribution coefficient (K D) of 860 mL/g was achieved for HESR (57).
  • The plutonium detection efficiency reached 96% with a minimum detectable concentration of 0.38 Bq/L Pu(V).

Conclusions:

  • HESR provide a sensitive and efficient method for the simultaneous uptake and detection of aqueous plutonium.
  • The developed resins show significant potential for environmental monitoring of plutonium contamination.
  • HESR offer a simplified detection process, eliminating the need for scintillation cocktails.
