Abstract

A new method for the simultaneous determination of molybdenum and tungsten in biological materials by neutron activation analysis has been developed. It involves a single step radiochemical separation of both elements by extraction chromatography using α-benzoinoxime supported on Bio-Beads SM 2. Good accuracy and precision of the method was demonstrated analyzing Bowen's Kale and IAEA's H-8 /Horse Kidney/ reference materials. The method was applied to check the reliability of the results obtained by one standard and one newly developed spectrophotometric methods for the molybdenum content in some plant materials.
