Preparation of 137Cs microspheres for their use in computer automated radioactive particle tracking studies / Sanjay Kumar Saxena in Industrial & engineering chemistry research, Vol. 51 N° 12 (Mars 2012)

T. Pillai, Auteur ; Ramu Ram, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 4485–4492 Note générale : chimie industrielle Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Microspheres  Hydrothermal  Radioactive Résumé : This paper describes a method for the preparation of 137Cs labeled mordenite-coated spheroidal alumina particles [ 0.7 mm ()] for their utility in the computer automated radioactive particle tracking technique for the calibration of detectors. Mordenite was coated successfully, in situ, on alumina microspheres under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analyses. A thorough optimization of experimental parameters such as pH of the adsorbing solution, reaction time, carrier concentration, reaction volume, and temperature, etc., were carried out to arrive at the conditions resulting in optimum impregnation of 137Cs activity into the microspheres. Under the optimized conditions, about 2.7–3.1 MBq (73–85 μCi) of 137Cs could be impregnated on individual microspheres in a reproducible manner. The radioactive microspheres were subsequently covered with a thin layer of polystyrene to prevent the dispersion of 137Cs activity during use.
