Abstract:The presence of boron will seriously affect the neutron balance of nuclear-grade zirconium sponge and the normal operation of the reactor. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately determine the trace amounts of boron in nuclear-grade sponge zirconium. During the determination of trace boron in nuclear-grade zirconium sponge by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), the interference of zirconium matrix is relatively serious, which must be corrected or eliminated. The sample was dissolved with nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid. 11B was selected as the determination isotope. The matrix interference was overcome by the standard addition method. The determination method of trace boron in nuclear-grade zirconium sponge by ICP-MS was established. The results showed that the mass concentration of boron had a linear relationship with its corresponding signal intensity in the range of 0.50-10.00 μg/L under the optimized experimental conditions. The correlation coefficient was 0.999 5. The limit of detection was 0.038 μg/g. The limit of quantification was 0.125 μg/g. The content of boron in six samples of nuclear-grade zirconium sponge was determined according to the experimental method. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of the measurement results was 2.3%, and the spiked recovery was 102%. The spectrophotometry was used for control test, and the results of two methods were basically consistent.
