Abstract

A method for the destructive activation analysis of vanadium in biological samples at the nanogram level has been developed, based on 3.75 min52V. A totally post-irradiation procedure is used, consisting of wet ashing and solvent extraction with N-benzoyl-N-phenylhydroxylamine (BPHA). Time of separation is about 12 min and the radiochemical purity excellent. Possible nuclear interferences were also investigated. The procedure was checked by an alternative method, using preashing and pyrosulfate fusion, and at higher levels, by nondestructive analyses. Results are presented for some 15 standard (or proposed) standard reference materials.
