DETERMINING CONCENTRATION OF URANIUM USING INDUCTIVELY COUPLED PLASMA MASS-SPECTROMETRY

https://doi.org/10.52676/1729-7885-2019-1-85-90

Abstract

A methodological scheme was developed for determining uranium content in human urine using Agilent 7700x (Agilent Technologies) mass-spectrometer and quadrupolar inductively-coupled plasma mass-spectrometry method. The paper demonstrates possibility to measure uranium concentration directly in urine samples diluted with 3% nitric acid solution without autoclave decomposition.

Obtained calibrating dependency for determining uranium within the concentration range of 0.1–10 µg/l is characterized by the correlation factor of 0,9998 and relative standard deviation of 4–9 %. Determination limit of the method is 30 ng/l. Assessment was made for spectral and matrix interferences with the results of measurements. Possibility of using calibration with selection of matrix to reduce matrix impact when determining uranium content in the urine was determined.
