The adsorption of europium and cerium tracers on Dowex-I from dilute HNO3 solutions containing different alcohols of the aliphatic series is described. From radiometric analysis of the liquid phase before and after equilibration, the percentage rare earth activity adsorbed by the resin was computed. The adsorption of the rare earths on the resin increased with increasing alcohol concentration. With the exception of adsorption of Eu from methanol, the rare earth adsorption from nitric acid-- aliphatic alcohol solutions decreased with increasing length of the primary carbon chain in the alcohols concernod. At constant alcohol concentrations, cerium was adsorbed more readily than europium. (M.C.G.)
