COCRYSTALLIZATION OF ULTRAMICRO QUANTITIES OF IRON AND OTHER ELEMENTS WITH OXINE GENERATED IN SITU

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4800956
The cocrystallization of iron in trace quantities with oxine formed homogeneously in solution by the hydrolysis of 8-acetoxyquinoline was studied. The distribution of microcomponent between the solid phase and the mother liquor was profoundly affected by the degree of supersaturation. After relief from supersaturation, a constant distribution coefficient was calculated by an equation which was predicated upon the Doerner-Hoskins equillbrium. The cocrystallization of other elements was also examined with an arbitrarlly established set of conditions. Plutonium, cerium, and praseodymium were quantitatively recovered from solution. (auth)
