Reaction of Np, Am, and Cm ions with CO₂ and O₂ in a reaction cell in triple quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry

Abstract

Ultratrace analysis is crucial for understanding fuel debris in a nuclear reactor core after severe accidents. Triple quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry measured the ion-molecule reactions of actinides (237Np,...

Atomic spectrometry update: review of advances in atomic spectrometry and related techniques

“…Kazama 76 investigated the ion–molecule reactions of Np + , Am + and Cm + with reactive CO 2 and O 2 gases in an ICP-MS-MS reaction cell. They developed a gas reaction model to evaluate reaction constants ( k ) and reaction efficiencies ( k eff ) and compared them with values reported using FTICR-MS.…”
