Title: THE DETERMINATION OF THORIUM ALPHA-ACTIVITY AND OF ZIRCONIUM, CERIUM AND RARE EARTH BETA-ACTIVITIES IN SOLUTIONS CONTAINING ALUMINIUM

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4009168

Aluminium is removed as soluble alunninate with sodium hydroxide solution. Thorium is co-precipitated with zirconium iodate and subsequently separated from the latter in fluoride solution. Zirconium, after hydrolysis of its fluoride complex with sodium hydroxide, is precipitated as the mandelate. Cerium and the rare earths are separated in iodate solution and are finally precipitated as oxalates. (auth)
