Carbon 14 is prepared by neutron irradiation of nitrogen compounds --- calcium, ammonium, and potassium nitrates have been used. Previous method of recovery was by bringing the nitrate into aqueous solution and acidifying it to release carbon dioxide and monoxide, which were then absorbed in caustic alkali. In the method described in this paptent, an irradiated nitride---preferably finely divided aluminum nitride---is slowly oxidized at 900 deg C by a stream of oxygen, and the resultant gases passed through a train of bubblers containing aqueous alkali metal hydroxide solution to absorb the radioactive carbon dioxide formed.
