Rapid method of estimating strontium 90 content in water

2 Rapid method of estimating strontium 90 content in water General 

Haberer and Sturzer describe a rapid method of estimating the strontium 90 

Add 5 mg of strontium and 5 mg of barium in the form of strontium chloride and barium chloride dissolved in water to the filtered water as inactive 

Once the 200 ml of reaction solution have passed through, add a further 50 ml. In this elution process it is mainly the strontium which is selectively dissolved, whereas the barium is retained on the cation exchange filter. Add ammonium carbonate solution to the eluate, heat it to 80 C and then 

The measurement makes it possible to roughly estimate the sum total of
