  • Title: Speciation analysis of both inorganic and organic 129I in seawater and its application in the study of the marine iodine cycle.

    Journal: Anal Methods; 2022 Sep 29; 14(37):3623-3631. PubMed ID: 36047386.
    Abstract:
    A complete protocol is presented for the speciation analysis of 129I for both inorganic and organic iodine in seawater using coprecipitation and solid-phase extraction (SPE) combined with accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). By modifying the iodide separation process and adding a crossover removal step, the improved coprecipitation method significantly reduces the cross-contamination of iodide and iodate to less than 0.05% in the speciation analysis of inorganic 129I, with the separation efficiencies of about 95% and 93% for iodide and iodate, respectively. The SPE-DOI method for the dissolved organic 129I (DO129I) analysis was developed, whereby we report the first direct observation of DO129I/DO127I atom ratios in seawater in this paper. 129I species in seawater from Tokyo Bay were analysed. The 129I results demonstrated that our protocol for speciation analysis of 129I is reliable and provided new insights into understanding the iodine cycle.
