Abstract

A new RNAA procedure was developed for simultaneous determination of low levels of I and Mn in biological materials. The procedure is based on sample decomposition by alkaline-oxidative fusion in a mixture of Na2O2 + NaOH at 900°C followed by extraction of elementary iodine by chloroform. Subsequently, Mn is separated either by precipitation of hydrated MnO2 or by extraction of the Mn-diethyldithiocarbamate complex in chloroform. The accuracy of the RNAA procedure developed was proven by analysis of several low-level biological reference materials. Detection limits of I and Mn achievable in both institutes and the degree of interference for the Mn determination due to 56Fe(n,p)56Mn reaction with fast neutrons are discussed.
