“…90% with some losses suggested as being volatile HI or I 2 species. Korean researchers 26 developed, what they claimed to be, an easy, fast and reliable measurement method for the quantitative determination of retained fission gases in an irradiated oxide fuel material. Initially a gas collection system was evaluated using Kr and Xe gas standard spikes resulting in optimal recoveries in the range 96-98%.…”

“…Although time-consuming, the six-step Mg purification scheme ensured 99.9% recovery and excellent separation of Mg from elements that can pose direct isobaric interferences or influence instrumental mass bias compared to standards. A double-spike method employing an approximately equal mixture of highly purified 24 Mg and 26 Mg was used to determine the absolute isotopic ratios. Total procedural blanks were <15 ng, a negligible level compared to the typical 200 mg amount of Mg processed through the purification protocol.…”

“…Total procedural blanks were <15 ng, a negligible level compared to the typical 200 mg amount of Mg processed through the purification protocol. External reproducibilities of 2.5, 20, 195 and 235 ppm were reported for the measurement of 26 Mg * (excess 26 Mg resulting from the in situ decay of 26 Al), relative 25 Mg/ 24 Mg (without 24 Mg-26 Mg spike), absolute 25 Mg/ 24 Mg and absolute 26 Mg/ 24 Mg, respectively. The chemical purification steps in this procedure were a modification of the technique reported by Schiller et al 366 in a study of 26 Al- 26 Mg dating of basaltic meteorites.…”

This is the 27th annual review published in Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry of the application of atomic spectrometry to the chemical analysis of environmental samples. This Update refers to papers published approximately between September 2010 and August 2011 and continues the series of Atomic Spectrometry Updates (ASUs) in Environmental Analysis 1 that should be read in conjunction with other related ASU reviews in the series, namely: clinical and biological materials, foods and beverages;(2) advances in atomic spectrometry and related techniques;(3) elemental speciation;(4) X-ray fluorescence spectrometry(5) and industrial analysis: metals, chemicals and advanced materials.(6) To celebrate the 25th anniversary of JAAS, a 25-year retrospective of ASU reviews has been published(7) to highlight the development and evolution of atomic spectrometric techniques and their use in measurement applications. Specific to this review, in the field of air analysis there is ongoing interest in measuring atmospheric Hg species and evaluating procedures for the determination of the carbonaceous content of airborne particulate matter. In a measurement arena where RMs are relatively scarce, a number of useful interlaboratory comparison studies have been reported. In the field of water analysis, as in previous years, the main areas of activity are the development of preconcentration and extraction procedures and elemental speciation protocols for elements such as As, Cr and Hg. There is increasing interest in evaluating TXRF for trace analysis. In the field of soil and plant analysis, sample dissolution and extraction remain a major focus of interest-especially methods to assess bioavailability-and there is a hint that 'greener' approaches, using less concentrated acid, are becoming important. Especially notable are the continued developments in LIBS, a shift towards more widespread use of techniques such as HPLC-ICP-MS and synchrotron-based XRF, and growth in studies where multiple techniques have been applied to the same sample for trace element mapping or speciation analysis. Less desirable are the publication of variants on well-established analytical methods with marginal novelty and several instances where substantially similar articles appeared almost simultaneously in more than one journal, thus generating 'two publications for the price of one'. It is evident that MC-ICP-MS and LA-MC-ICP-MS are now so widely available in geoanalytical laboratories that applications papers, that include little of novelty from an analytical perspective, dominate the literature. However, this trend should not mask the vital research required to underpin and improve the quality of the geochemical data on which any interpretation is based. Another observation is the high proportion of analytical and applications papers with Chinese authors, reflecting the rise of atomic spectrometry in China over the past number of years.
