Abstract

Comparison of MEA, DEA and TEA as CO2 absorbent to measure carbon-14 activity of coral sample has been performed. This research aimed to Determine the age of coral reef sample of Spermonde Islands by measuring the activity of carbon-14 using the method Liquid Scintillation Counting (LSC). The sample of coral reef were collected in Langkai Island. The research were conducted by following steps of sample preparation, the CO2 absorption using the solutions of MEA, DEA and TEA. The measurement of the carbon-14 activities was performed using the Liquid Scintillation Counter (LSC) Hidex 300 SL. The research results indicated that the absorption capacities of MEA, DEA and TEA were 0.5180, 0.5903 and  the absorbents of MEA, DEA and TEA were 14.44, 14.59, and 14.42 DPM/g C respectively. The age of the coral reef sample, which was calculated based on the specific activity values using the absorbents of MEA, DEA and TEA were 480.15 ± 37; 390.11 ± 60 and 488.22 ± 87 years respectively.Keywords : LSC (Liquid Scintilation Counter), Carbon-14, CO2 Absorption, Alkanolamine, Langkai Island

Abstract

Utilization of methylamine as CO2 absorbent to measure carbon-14 activity of coral sample has been done. The objective of this research is to Determine the age of Coral Sample through Activity Measurements of carbon-14 with LSC (Liquid Scintillation Counting) method. Sample were taken from Langkai Island which is far from human activities. Sample preparation includes physical and chemical leaching to produce a clean white sample. Carbon in the sample was released as CO2 by reaction with HCl 10 % and than absorbed by methylamine yield carbamate compound. Absorbed carbon in 1 mL absorber was 0,044 g from the results of weight reduction before and after absorption. The specific activity of the coral sample was 14.56 DPM/g C. Age of the coral sample based on the specific activity was 408.48 ± 43.69 years.

Abstract

Three scintillators, ultimagold, aqualight, and aquasol, have been applied to compare performance of liquid scintillation counter upon its C-14 activity measurement in biodiesel supplied by Pertamina in Makassar. The results showed that efficiency of aquasol is lower(0.2), while aqualight and ultimagold is higher (> 0.5). However eff iciency stability of ultimagold is considered better. It can be concluded that using ultimagold may provide more efficient and stable result and consequently more suitable as scintillator.

Abstract

Utilization of ethanolamine as carbon dioxide absober for estimating of coral age from langkai island via LSC (Liquid Scintillation Counting) method has been done. Focus is to analyze coral reefs taken from Langkai island surface which is relatively far from the influence of human activities. Chemical preparation was carried out by using a mixture of NaOH with H2O2 30% followed by a mixture of HClO4 with H2O2 30%, and finally with HCl solution to produce a clean sample with 8.6% weight reduction. Carbonate matrix samples as CO2 is produced by reaction with HCl 10% and absorbed by ethanolamine solution 30% as carbamate complex. The total carbon in the sample solution is 4.542 grams obtained through decreased method after and before absorbtion process. Total carbon in 8 mL sample is 0.2477 grams. Radiocarbon dating method based on the measurement of the specific activity of the samples acquired from the result of LSC (Liquid Scintilation Counter)Hidex 300 SL counting. Age of coral reefs was counted from specific activities data and average activities of modern carbon by using radioisotope decay rate formula. The spesific activities of 14C in coral reefs from Langkai island is 14.55 ± 1.1 dpm/gC. Finally the age of coral reefs was estimated 415.01 ± 91.08 years.Keywords: Coral reefs, LSC (Liquid Scintilation Counting), radiocarbon dating, Spermonde islands.

Abstract

Research on utilization of sodium hydroxide as absorber for 14C analysis of coral ages estimation in Langkai Island using LSC (Liquid Scintillation Counting) method has been done. Samples analyzed comes from Langkai Island, which is relatively low disturbing by human activities. Samples were cleaned according to physical and chemical treatment using mixture of acid-base solution: NaOH , H2O2 , HClO4 and HCl. This step remove about 8,62% mass of the sample and it leaves white. Carbonated of sample were remove as CO2 by reaction with HCl 10% and trapped by 5M NaOH as Na2CO3. Total carbon in the sample can be determined by titration method with the total weight of carbon sample are 0,2688 g / 8 mL. Specific activity of carbon-14 in the sample that were counted by Hidex 300 SL liquid Scintillation Counter were 14.72 ± 7.92 DPM/gC related to their age. By applying specific activity of the samples and specific activity carbon-14 in the modern carbon (15.3 ± 0.1 DPM/gC) to radioisotop desintegration equation, the age were 316,90±170,506 years.Keywords : Carbon Dating, Liquid Scintillation Counting, Coral, Spermonde Archiphelago
