Radioactive strontium in mixed fission products was rapidly separated by a two-step extraction. The solution of the material was first adjusted to pH 7 and extracted with 0.05 m TTA-benzene. By this treatment rare earths and yttrium were made to go into the organic phase out of the solution. Thc remaining aqueous phase was transferred into another separatory funnel, adjusted to pH 8, and extracted with 0.05 nm TTA--hexone. In this case the radioactive strontium was completely extracted into the organic phase. Less than 5% of ruthenium present in the solution was extracted at the same time. Detailed data of the experiments on the extraction involving the determination of distribution coefficient, and the equilibrium constant were tabulated. (auth)
