Abstract

A routine-method for the determination of bromine and iodine in environmental water by neutron activation is presented. The elements are isolated by isotope exchange between the irradiated sample and a solution of Br2 or I2 CCl4. The method is not sensitive to the chemical species in which the halogen is present. The lower limit of the determination is 1.0 μg Br·1−1 and 0.1 μgI·1−1.
