The invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear facility decommissioning and three-
waste treatment, and particularly relates to a method for measuring 63Ni in a
metal sample. The method comprises the steps of taking a
metal sample, adding HCl, heating on an
electric heating plate, adding
hydrogen peroxide and
perchloric acid after the sample is dissolved, and fixing the volume to a
volumetric flask (1) by using HCl; carrying out separation and enrichment on 63Ni, 55Fe and 60Co, and loading anion exchange resin into an
ion exchange column; balancing the
ion exchange column by using HCl,taking a sample with the volume of V2 from the
volumetric flask (1), and putting the sample on the column to ensure that the
iron content is not more than 150mg; adding HCl to wash the
ion exchange column, combining and collecting an adsorption
effluent and a washing
effluent to serve as a
nickel column-loading solution with the volume of V3; and carrying out separation and enrichment on 63Ni, 137Cs and 90Sr, placing a
nickel resin column on a
vacuum extraction box, and taking
ammonium citrate, and adding
ammonium citrate into the
nickel resin column to be balanced. By adopting the
analysis method, enrichment of low-content 63Ni in a sample can be realized, interference of nuclides such as 55Fe, 60Co, 137Cs and 90Sr on 63Ni measurement is eliminated, and the method has the advantages of short analysis period, high accuracy, good reloading
recovery rate and the like.
