A simple and direct ion-exchange method has been suggested for the separation of uranium from thorium. Both the elements are absorbed by the resin (Amberlite lR) from which uranium can be eluted first with 1.70 M hydrochloric acid. After neutralizing the acid by running ammonia solution through the resin column, thorium is eluted with l.1 M ammonium carbonate solution. A bed 1 cm in diam can handle 0.06 g of U/sub 3/O/sub 8/ in the presence of about 0.25 g of thoria. (auth)
