Abstract

Neutron activation analysis (NAA) for the determination of some trace elements in biological materials is described. The method presented permits the simple and rapid determination of Se, Ag, Au, Sb, Pt (via199Au), Hg, Co, Ni (via58Co), Fe, Zn, Mo, Sn, Cr, Cd, Cu and As after radiochemical separation from Na, K, Cs, Rb and partially Br. For this purpose, postirradiation separation by extraction with mercury or zinc amalgam was used. Separation of gold by extraction with ethyl acetate or by precipitation with dimethylglyoxime was applied for the determination of gold and platinum in biological materials.
