What are the Aluminum isotopes and their uses?

Answer 1

Isotopes ;
Aluminium has nine isotopes. Only the stable isotope, Al-27 and the radioactive isotope, Al-26 occur naturally. Al-26 is produced from argon in the atmosphere by spallation caused by cosmic-ray protons. Aluminum isotopes have found practical application in dating marine sediments, manganese nodules, glacial ice, quartz in rock exposures, and meteorites. The ratio of Al-26 to beryllium-10 has been used to study the role of transport, deposition, sediment storage, burial times, and erosion on 105 to 106 year time scales.

Cosmogenic Al-26 was first applied in studies of the Moon and meteorites. Meteorite fragments, after departure from their parent bodies, are exposed to intense cosmic-ray bombardment during their travel through space, causing substantial Al-26 production. After falling to Earth, atmospheric shielding protects the meteorite fragments from further Al-26 production, and its decay can then be used to determine the meteorite's terrestrial age. Meteorite research has also shown that Al-26 was relatively abundant at the time of formation of our planetary system. Possibly, the energy released by the decay of Al-26 was responsible for the remelting and differentiation of some asteroids after their formation 4.6 billion years ago.

Answer 5

Aluminum Isotope 26 was found in the 12 Vile Vortices found in the Earth's surfaces.......They need to be destroyed as they have an adverse affect on animals, weather and it's weakening the magnetic core that surrounds the Earth.......I saw a Documentary about this on the History Channel and the scientists were killed trying to destroy the Isotopes............This is weakening our Earth's Core....therefore causing the warming of the Earth......which has nothing to do with human behavior.......................................................We need to continue this investigation of this highly dangerous radioactive substance......by Scientists.........This has to be taken seriously........We need information and research into this.......This was not a Government Project.......

Answer 6

There is no known practical use for this Isotope

Answer 7

I'm interested in this as well

Answer 8

Interesting, I was wondering the same thing myself

Answer 9
