Abstract: | In pyroprocessing,uranium(U) is recovered from molten LiCl-KCl salt,and,for safeguard purposes,it is important to analyze the U and Plutonium(Pu) concentrations in a timely manner.In the present work,salt samples containing U were fabricated.The laser used in the present work was an Nd:YAG laser with a wavelength of 532 nm,a laser energy on the sample of11.5 mJ,and a pulse repetition rate of 10 Hz.The plasma emission light was measured with an Echelle spectrometer.A total of 100 points on the sample surface were measured as the laser incident position was changed.The U and potassium(K) peaks in the spectrum were identified.Univariate and multivariate analyzes were conducted to determine the accuracy and limit of detection(LOD) of the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. |
