RARE EARTH CHROMATOGRAPHY USING BIS(2-ETHYLHEXYL) ORTHOPHOSPHORIC ACID

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4184761
Several techniques of column construction were tested for the chromatographic separation of the rare earths using bis(2- ethylhexyl)orthophosphoric acid (HDEHP). Earlier work, which showed that rare- earth separations can be made by HDEHP supported on an aluminum oxide column and elution with hydrochloric acid, was continued in order to develop a procedure for rare-earth chromatography in connection with neutron activation anulysis. Three column techniques show promise, according to initial tests. (auth)
