Abstract
A method for the quantitative determination of zinc-65 in effluent is described. Zinc-65 is selectively extracted from a concentrate of effluent in HC1 using Aliquat-336 in xylene. The extracted zinc-65 is determined by gamma spectrometry. Using an 8 in x 4 in NaI(TI) cyrstal, concentrations as low as 0.07 x 10-12 Ci/ml can be determined, with + 10 per cent statistical accuracy.
