The invention relates to a method for jointly determining
plutonium 238, 239 + 240 and neptun-237 in
aerosol by taking Pu-236 as a yield tracer agent, which comprises the following steps: step 1, sample pretreatment:
cutting an
aerosol sample into pieces, adding 236Pu,
ashing, and leaching with a
nitric acid solution A; step 2, valence state adjustment: adjusting the acidity of the leaching solution, and sequentially adding a
hydroxylamine hydrochloride solution, a
ferrous sulfamate solution and a
sodium nitrite solution to adjust the valence state of
nuclide; step 3, separation and purification: separating and purifying by adopting a TEVA resin column, leaching by using a
nitric acid solution B and a
hydrochloric acid solution, and desorbing by using an HCl-HF solution; and 4, the
desorption solution is subjected to electro-deposition to prepare a source, and a low background alpha
spectrometer is adopted for measurement of
plutonium 238, 239 + 240 and neptun-237. The detection method is high in sensitivity, the
recovery rate of the neptun-237 is high, and the blank of
joint analysis of
plutonium 238, 239 + 240 and neptun-237 is filled.
