Abstract
Instrumental Fast Neutron Activation Analysis
(IFNAA) technique has been used in the qualitative and quantitative determination of the impurity elements in common salt. Samples of the different types of common
salt processed in Niqeria and some of those imported into the country were used. The type A711 KAMAN neutron generator and a High-purity Germanium (HpGe gamma pectrometer available at the Centre for Energy Research and Training, Ahmadu Bello University Z a r ia has been used. The ORTEC ADCAM 100 Emulation Software (Maestro) was used in the qualitative measurement of
the detected elements. The G.R.G. Activation Analysis System by G.R. Gilmore, 1987, was used in the quantitative determination of the elements detected by relative method. Aluminium and arsenic were detected and measured.
