Abstract

The optimum method of silica gel purification is described that makes possible its use as a carrier of standards in the neutron activation analysis. The achieved purity was checked by the instrumental neutron activation analysis. Silica gel was used as the carrier of Na, Br, Ba, Ca, Fe, Zn, Co, Cr, Sb, and Ni standards. The contribution of the carrier activity to the activity of the standard was less than 0.5%.
