Abstract

The classic procedure of BeO preparation for loess-paleosol cannot restrain the concentration of ¹⁰B effectively, which results in higher background of ¹⁰Be measurement. The procedure has been modified in this paper. It includes detailed eluting curve for cation exchanging, the method of converting Be (OH)₂ to BeO, and the experiment equipments. The measurement results by Xi'an AMS indicate that the background of modified BeO preparation procedure can be lowered to 2.04 × 10^-14 on 3MV AMS. The method and measurement results have also been introduced for Xi'an-AMS.
