Abstract:A sensitive and selective radiometric method for the determination of trace levels of tellurium is described. The method is based on the radiodisplacement of Cd II from a bis(diethyldithiocarbamato)cadmium-115m(ii) complex by Te IV at pH 3.3. The activity of the displaced radiocadmium, which is proportional to the amount of Te IV taken, was measured by liquid scintillation counting (LSC) and Cerenkov counting. The counting efficiency of LSC and Cerenkov counting was found to be 130% and 36%, respectively. The … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
