Abstract

Acrilan fibre loaded with ferric hydroxide concentrates Si and trace elements from tons of sea water. This synthetic fibre is cheap, relatively blank free and easily processed. 228/Ra 226Ra activity ratios were measured by this technique in the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean; the results are consistent with those made directly on seawater. Data are also reported on fibre enrichment factors relative to seawater for Si, Ra, Th, and Pb; these factors range from 200 to 10 000.
