The uptake of ²⁴¹Am, ²⁴⁴Cm and ²⁴⁹Cf with LN resin was studied in HCl and HNO3 solutions with concentrations ranging from 0.02 to 2.5 M. There is high uptake at concentrations < 0.1 M in both acids for all three isotopes with decreasing uptake at higher concentrations and negligible extraction at ≥ 0.6 M. Californium has a higher extraction than americium and curium, which are extremely similar. Kinetics studies showed rapid uptake of all three isotopes. Here, column studies were performed to demonstrate the separation of ²⁴¹Am and ²⁴⁹Cf, and a bulk separation including nine stable lanthanides along with ²⁴¹Am, ²⁴⁹Cf, and ⁸⁸Y.
