Abstract

A high purity grade palladium matrix used for production of isotopes has been analyzed for Ru, Co, Fe, Zn, Cd and Hg by neutron activation. The chemical procedure is based on the addition of respective carriers followed by the simultaneous separation of different elemental impurities by anion exchange chromatography. The method is free from chemical interference.

Self-shielding of the matrix material has been considered and proved to be within the acceptable experimental error. Secondary nuclear reactions are discussed and found to be negligible under the experimental conditions used.
