To separate the radioactive strontium and cesium from solutions containing gross fission products and other non-radioactive metallic ions, cupferron-chloroform extraction was performed. By changing the acidity of the aqueous solution from l n hydrochloric acid to pH 4, andi by performing extractions in each stage, the strontium and the cesium remained in the aqueous phase, while the other was removed into the organic phase. The radioactive strontium may be extracted in the organic phase by the following extraction with TTA-hexone at pH 8.
