Abstract

The use of high-resolution Ge(Li) detectors in non-destructive instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) of mineral materials makes possible the simultaneous determination of a number of trace elements. In routine applications of INAA the use of a multi-element standard (MES) has proved to have advantages over a set of standards for each determined element. An MES has been prepared containing 8 trace elements mixed in a suitable proportion and giving, after neutron activation, long-lived γ-emitters, the γ-ray lines of which regularly occur in the γ-ray spectra of silicate mineral materials. This method has been used in the determination of Sc, Cr, Co, Rb. Cs, Eu, Hf and Th in samples of standard rocks and moldavites.
