Diegenen die hun heel direkte bijdrage aan de verschillende delen van dit werk gegeven hebben zijn vanzelfsprekend co-auteur van de artikelen. Anderen zijn promotor, copromo- tor en coreferent, één heeft een dubbelfunktie. Dat heeft tot gevolg dat al diegenen die op iets minder di- rekte manier hebben geholpen niet worden genoemd. Daar zou ik iets aan kunnen doen door iedereen persoonlijk in dit voorwoord te bedanken. Maar ik ben bang dat ik niet in staat ben dat te doen zonder dat het onecht klinkt. Ik doe het daarom liever niet, in de hoop dat ik iedereen die me hielp direkt heb later, merken dat ik daar blij mee was. Als dat niet altijd duidelijk is geweest, dan spijt me dat en dan wil ik alsnog zeggen dat ik iedereen voer allo hulp erg dankbaar ben. : . ••••. •' •'• • • '•• •-...: . •-il—"- •' •••. ' • • "• •-•.••;• ••' - :••••: • INTRODUCTION ! i . i i The content of this thesis can be divided into tv/o parts. The main part, consisting of two papers, deals with the influence of the choice of channelwidth on the overall i resolution in gamma-ray spectrometry. The other two papers : describe separation systems for activation analysis. In all the studies we have made, our aim was to ensure a relative simplicity in the actual application of the subject under consideration. This simplification applies to the separation systems as well as to the influence of channel- width on the gamma-ray spectrum. In analytical chemistry it is quite common to consider those factors that affect the precision of spectrometric systems. Thus, in gamma-ray spectrometry using multichannel analyzers, the influence of the radiation detectors and the electronics involved on the broadening of the gamma peak is widely recognized. Although the influence of the finite energy content of a channel of a multichannel analyser on peak-broadening is known in a qualitative way, a systematic and quantitative v treatment may be helpful in the optimization of the spectrometric system for a specific problem. We dealt with this problem for Ge(Li) and Nal(Tl) detectors in our first and second paper, using two different relations between detector resolution and gamma-ray energy. i The need for a knowledge of the precision of the measured j peak as a function of the gamma-ray energy exists especially when it is necessary to measure at the same time higher and lower energy gamma rays with a multichannel analyzer with small memory capacity. This occurs especially when one wishes to determine , palladium, silver, platinum, gold and mercury in one step by activation analysis using Nal(Tl) scintillation detectors ( and a low cost multichannel analyzer for reasons of simplicity \ and wider applicability. A separation system for these metals I b,7 means of electrodepositiön on copper powder is described h in ïthé,;- fourth paper. •.':••• ,. • .: • "' • •. 'it. -•'••. .... V/hen this separation system is applied to a thallium matrix the need arises to ensure/better matrix decontamination than can be attained by eiectrodeposition. Therefore we evaluated the possibilities of Hydrated Antimony Pentoxide : for different thallium compounds, the description of which can be found in the third paper. All research described in the four papers which form this thesis originated from the problem of determination of noble metals in thallium matrices. We hope that this contribution is a step forward towards the solution of this problem. -IV- SUMMARY f. A STATISTICAL APPROACH TO THE CHOICE OF CKANNELWIDTH IN ' GAMMA RAY SEECTROMETRY USING- EMPIRICAL RELATIONS BETWEEN" RESOLUTION AND GAMMA-RAY ENERGY R. Furler and H. Fcpp.e J. Radioanalyt. Churn. (197*0 in press In gamma-ray speetroinetry, the finite channelwidth of a multichannel analyz.er influences the resolution of gamma peaks obtained from the detector. In deciding which number of channels to USG for a certain energy range there are always two compromises to be made: first that between the largest possible energy range and the smallest number of channels, and secondly that- between the too small number of channels for the low energy gamma peaks and the too large number of channels in the high energy region. Both compromises can be made when the influence of the choice of the channelwidth on the broadness of the registered gamma peak is known. This influence can be estimated by comparing the registered peak in the histogram form as obtained from the multichannel analyzer, with the gamma peak delivered by the detector system itself. As a measure of comparison the normalized central second moment is Used. Prom this comparison it is possible to derive an expression for the extra peak-broadening " 'caused by the channelwidth and also for the channelwidth, .. once the value for the extra peak-broadening is accepted as bolerableV This expression also contains the relation between the detector line width and the gamma energy., ; For four types of Nal(Tl) scintillation detectors we' constructed; graphical straight line fits to the resolution data.

  • 4. Inorganic Flame Retardants. Plastics Can Be Given Flame Retardant Characteristics by Introducing Elements of Organic, Inorganic and Halogen Origin
    4. Inorganic Flame Retardants. Plastics can be given flame retardant characteristics by introducing elements of organic, inorganic and halogen origin. Such elements include magnesium, aluminium, phosphorous, molybdenum, antimony, tin, chlorine and bromine. Flame retardants are added in either the manufacturing step of the polymer or the compounding step of the polymeric article. Phosphorous bromine and chlorine are usually included as some organic compound. Inorganic flame retardants are usually added together with other flame retardants to provide a more efficient flame retardant action through synergism. Halogen flame retardants usually need an addition of about 40% in order to be effective, and this affects the properties of the polymer quite negatively. Structural integrity of the polymer article is often very important, and a drastic decrease in strength and other mechanical properties is simply not acceptable. The efficiency of halogen flame retardants is often enhanced by the addition of inorganic flame retardants. A smaller mass percentage halogen flame retardant is now needed, so the adverse effect on the polymer properties is also reduced (Touval, 1993) . 4.1 Antimony Compounds The antimony compounds used for flame retardancy include antimony trioxide, antimony pentoxide and antimony-metal compounds. In 1990 in the United States alone, the use of antimony trioxide amounted to 20 000 metric tons just for the flame retardancy of plastics. Antimony oxide is readily found in nature but in very impure form. This is not suitable for 29 direct use as flame retardant, so antimony oxide is often rather produced from antimony metal. There are therefore many different grades of antimony oxide that can be used for flame retardants.

Masten, Ph.D. NTP/NIEHS Research Triangle Park, North Carolina Prepared by Integrated Laboratory Systems, Inc. Research Triangle Park, North Carolina July 2005 Chemical Name: Antimony Trioxide CAS RN: 1309-64-4 Formula: Sb2O3 Basis for Nomination: Antimony trioxide was nominated by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences for chronic toxicity, cardiotoxicity and carcinogenicity studies due to the potential for substantial human exposure in occupational settings and lack of adequate two-year exposure carcinogenicity studies. Additional studies of antimony trioxide are of interest, in lieu of studies with antimony trisulfide or another antimony compound, considering the higher volume of use and magnitude of human exposure, and the lack of two- year exposure carcinogenicity studies for any antimony compound by any route of administration. Antimony trisulfide was nominated to the NTP by the National Cancer Institute in 2002 for carcinogenicity studies (http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ntpweb/index.cfm?objectid=25BEBA08-BDB7-CEBA- FC56EAD78615ADCF). Subsequent to the nomination review process, the NTP concluded that antimony trisulfide should not be studied further at this time for the following reasons: 1) antimony trisulfide does not appear to represent a major form of antimony to which humans are exposed; 2) carcinogenicity studies of antimony trisulfide is unlikely to lead to a sufficient understanding of the carcinogenicity hazard for antimony compounds as a group; and 3) there is concern regarding the safe handling of pure antimony trisulfide in experimental settings due to its flammable/combustible nature.
