DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4110906· OSTI ID:4110906
A method for determining the concentration of Li/sup 6/ in aqueous solution was tested using the nuclear reactions Li/sup 6/(n, alpha )H and O/sup 16/(H/sup 3/,n)F/sup 18/. Annihilation gamma radiation of induced 1.87-hr F/ sup 18/ radioactivity was counted with a welltype scintillation counter, and the radioactivity per millimole of lithium was found to be independent of lithium concentration below about 0.2 moles/liter. The sensitivity limit for detecting lithium is less than 0.1 micromole (0.0075 micromole Li/sup 6/). (auth)
