Liquid Scintillation Counting of Radioactive Sulfuric Acid and Other Substances
A method is described for the determination of sulfur-35 in large amounts of sulfuric acid using a liquid scintillation counter. The acid is converted to a neutral salt of a high molecular weight aliphatic primary amine and is dissolved in toluene-ethyl alcohol. The efficiency of counting is almost independent of the amount of sulfate, but does depend on the amount of amine. Other acids, such as radioactive citric, phosphoric, and hydrochloric acids can be counted by this technique. Finally, preliminary findings on the counting of monosaccharides are presented also.
