Benzene Purity in Radiocarbon Dating Samples
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 July 2016
Abstract
Gas chromatographic analysis of the benzene obtained for radiocarbon dating revealed only very low levels (<200 ppm in total) of impurities, most of which were alkylbenzenes. Traces of acetone and phenol were also found. These impurities, at such low levels are thought unlikely to affect counting efficiency.
