Abstract

For detection and localization of leaks in closed vessels or pipes carrying liquid flow, $^{51}$ Cr-EDTA and $^{51}$ Cr-DTPA were synthesized and, the column and batch equilibrium experiments were carried out. In the column experiment, the recovery of $^{51}$ Cr-EDTA is 100% in quartz sand and 80.9% in steel sawdust, and that of $^{51}$ Cr-DTPA is 77.4% in quartz sand and 6.4% in steel sawdust. The recovery curve. $^{51}$ Cr-DTPA system in steel sawdust does not show a certain plateau, exceptionally. In general, $^{51}$ Cr-EDTA is adsorbed less than $^{51}$ Cr-DTPA. In the batch equilibrium experiment, the distribution coefficients (Kd) and effect of pH were investigated by using quartz sand, montmorillonite, steel sawdust, and mixed cement raw material as media. In general, the Kd values for $^{51}$ Cr-EDTA are lower than that of $^{51}$ Cr-DTPA. The Kd values for $^{51}$ Cr-EDTA are almost zero at pH 6.0, 7.0, and 8.0.

유동액체를 수송하는 도관 또는 폐용기의 누설의 탐지 및 위치한정을 위하여 $^{51}$ Cr-EDTA및 $^{51}$ Cr-DTPA를 합성하고 Column Experiment 그리고 PH를 변화시켜 Batch equilibrium Experiment를 하였다. Column Experiment에서 $^{51}$ Cr-EDTA의 회수율은 Quartz sand에서 100%, Steel sawdust에서 80.9% 그리고 $^{51}$ Cr-DTPA는 Quartz sand에서 77.4%, Steel sawdust에서 6.4%이다. Recovery curve는 Steel sawdust $^{51}$ Cr-DTPA system에서 예외로 일정한 Plateau 를 표시하지 않는다. Batch Equilibrium Experiment에서 분배계수 Kd와 pH와의 관계를 Quartz asand, Montmorillonite, steel sawdust 그리고 Mixed Cement Raw Material둥을 매질로 하여 검토하였다. 일반적으로 $^{51}$ Cr-EDTA에 대한 Kd값이 $^{51}$ Cr DTPA에 대한 그것보다 낮다. $^{51}$ Cr-EDTA에 대한 Kd값이 pH 6.0, 7.0, 그리고 8.0에서 거의 0이 된다.
