Abstract
Polyaniline sorted with microgram quantity of mercury was prepared and its homogeneity and stability with respect to mercury was evaluated o ver a period of time. The volatilisation loss of mercury during and af ter neutron irradiation was studied. It was found that polyaniline was homogeneous and stable with respect to mercury. No loss of mercury fr om polyaniline was observed during and after neutron irradiation. Thus polyaniline sorbed with mercury can serve as a good standard for neut ron activation analysis of mercury.
