CO<sub>2</sub> flow intensity signal measured by TCD (black line) and cps spectra of samples No. 3 (green), No. 6 (blue) and background (red) as determined with the semiconductor detector.
<p>In total, three combustion cycles (400 s each) were used to completely combust the non-ground graphite sample.</p
An example spectrum of <sup>14</sup>C measured using semiconductor detectors.
<p>The green color denotes the spectrum of sample No. 3 and the black color denotes a typical background spectrum. Both spectra were collected over 100 s time intervals.</p
Rapid system for <sup>14</sup>C specific activity determination in the sample.
<p>System contains elemental analyzer (autosampler, oxidation and reduction columns, water trap, gas chromatography column, thermal conductivity detector (TCD)) and β particle detection system. In the present study, gas catchers (3 M NaOH) and LSC were used to evaluate the accuracy of the measurements of samples with low <sup>14</sup>C activity.</p
Correlation between <sup>14</sup>C activity and the mass of graphite samples.
<p>The parameters of linear approximation (y = a + bx) are: a = -34 ± 45, b = 0.8 ± 0.2; R = 0.62. Sample mass was determined by the elemental analyzer.</p
Correlation between LSC and semiconductor detector data.
<p>The horizontal axis represents LSC measurement data of <sup>14</sup>C activity and the vertical axis represents semiconductor β detector pulse counts obtained per 100 s. The parameters of linear approximation (y = a + bx) are a = 8.83, b = 0.63, R = 0.94.</p
Experimentally determined activity of <sup>137</sup>Cs, <sup>60</sup>Co and <sup>14</sup>C in the graphite sample.
<p>The mass of the same sample was determined by two methods: weighing with balances, and later by combustion in an elemental analyzer.</p
