This method for the determination of Mo⁹⁹ is based on the extraction of the alpha -benzoinoxime complex into ethyl acetate with subsequent stripping into dilute hydrochloric acid. The extraction circumvents the inconvenient perchloric acid wet oxidation of the precipitated complex as used in prevailing methods. Advantages of the proposed method are excellent decontamination, decreased analysis time, and greater safety. The half life value of Mo⁹⁹, based on this method, is 66.55 0.22 hr.
