Abstract

The paper describes an automatic equipment which allows to determine the silicon content of coal by neutron activation analysis. The technique is based on the measurement of gamma-ray intensity of the28Al radionuclide, which is the result of the fast neutron reaction28Si(n, p)28 Al. The Activation part includes a Pu-238/Be neutron source which is located in the middle of the sample container; the measuring part includes two NaI(Tl)-scintillation counters. The total time of the anlysis of one sample amounts to a few minutes; the standard deviation of a single determination is 0.2% SiO2.
