Use of TEVA resin for the determination of U isotopes in water samples by Q-ICP-MS.
In order to measure uranium isotopic mass ratio in natural water samples by Q-ICP-MS, an application of TEVA resin (Eichrom) was studied to separate and concentrate U. After being evaporated to dryness, the sample residue was dissolved in 6 M HCl, then, TEVA extraction was carried out. U extracted on the resin could be removed with 20 ml of 1 M HCl (U fraction) when Fe content was lower than 2 mg. U recovery in U fraction showed a negative correlation with Fe content in the samples.
