Abstract

The analytical potential of ICP-AES (ICP) and ³He⁺-activation for the determination of boron was examined. The paper compares ICP-levels of B, obtained from aqueous solutions containing digested plant material, with minimum detectable limits attained in solid matrices that were subjected to prompt gamma-ray analysis using 2 MeV ³He⁺ ions. The analytically useful gamma-rays originated mainly from (³He,p) and (³He, α) reactions on ¹¹B and Coulomb excitation of ¹⁰B. The numerical capabilities of the two techniques for such measurements are discussed, and detailed methodologies and possible difficulties are presented.
