Abstract

Comprehensive Isotopic and Elemental Analysis of a Multi-Oxide Glass By Multicollector ICP-MS in Isotope Substitution Studies

Mitroshkov A, Ryan JV, May-Lin T and Neeway JJ

Multicollector ICP-MS was used to comprehensively analyze different types of isotopically modified glass created to investigate the processes of glass corrosion in the water. Analytical methods were developed for the analyses of synthesized, isotopically modified solid glass and the release of glass constituents upon contact with deionized water. To validate the methods, results from an acid digestion sample of the Analytical Reference Glass showed good agreement when compared to data from multiple prior analyses on the same glass [1]. In this paper, we present the results of the comprehensive analysis of the acid digestion of six types of isotopically modified glass and the release of glass constituents into water corrosion after one year of aqueous corrosion.
