Influence on the Chemistry Quenching of Low Level Tritium in Natural Water by the Solid Polymer Electrolysis Enrichment Method

Abstract

The Solid Polymer Electrolysis (SPE) enrichment method is a practical way to measure low level tritium (1 μS/cm) or acidification pH samples. For water samples the impurity ions taken by the polymer film, can be used to adjust the pH value with tiny amounts of ammonia to avoid chemistry quenching and thus reduce the low counting of the tritium natural water samples.
