Description
Summary:The estimation of the Re concentration factor (CF) has been carried out to provide additional field information on the biochemical similaritiesbetween Re and Tc. Re concentration in brown seaweed samples from the North Atlantic Coast were measured using ID-ICP-MS. The chemicalyields were quantitative, and the concentrations were distributed within a narrow range of 6580 ng/g d.w. CF of Re was approximately 1.2E+4 onaverage, i.e., one order of magnitude less than that found for 99Tc.
