โฆ Synopsis
The technique of gas extraction from water and gas sample preparation for 85Kr low-level measurements was further developed to improve its applicability to isotope-hydrological "age" determinations of young groundwaters. A water sample of about 200 L is flushed with helium to extract the dissolved gases. Krypton is separated from the extracted gas mixture by repeated adsorption on charcoal, fractionated desorption and subsequent gas chromatography. The detection limit for a 10,000 min counting time in a 10 mL counter containing the krypton (15 microL) and methane as counting gas corresponds to 25 mBq 85Kr per mL (STP) krypton or 2.5% of the mean atmospheric 85Kr activity concentration in the year 1990.

A two bulb glass apparatus was used to measure the concentration diffusion coefficient of the binary gas systems He-Ar and Ne-iKr. The coefficients were determined for equimolar mixtures at temperatures between 0ยฐC and 70ยฐC. The diffusion was followed as a function of time by withdrawing samples and
