Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
A new and simple method to assess low radium concentrations in water and sediment pore water was developed. The 226Ra ions are trapped on a laboratory prepared MnO2 resin (3 other ones have also been tested) that is inserted in a DGT probe (diffusive gradients in thin films). The probe can be deployed for days to weeks sufficient to accumulate enough 226Ra to be quantified. Because the High Resolution ICP-MS was operated in low resolution mode to get the highest sensitivity, isobaric interference from the Sr88Ba138 molecular ion could not be avoided. However, the pre-concentration on the MnO2 resin favours 226Ra accumulation versus that of Ba and Sr. The instrumental repeatability on a standard of 2 ng L-1226Ra was 1.4% (n = 10), while the relative standard deviation on natural samples was 8% (average of 2.2 pg L-1226Ra, n = 3). A detection limit as low as 0.022 pg L-1226Ra (0.80 mBq L-1) was achieved for a 24 h DGT deployment. |
