Title: THE PREPARATION AND STABILITY OF CARRIER-FREE AMALGAMS. Annual Report, June 1960-July 1961

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4822061

Results of investigations concerning the preparation and properties of amalgams of 10.6-hour carrier-free Pb/sup 212/ and the radiocolloidal and adsorptive properties of carrierfree Ag/sup 110/ are reported. Data and discussion related to recovery of Pb/sup 212/ activity from active acetic acidhydroxylamine hydrochloride -potassium bitartrate electrolyte are presented along with similar information on stability and homogeneity of Pb/sup 212/ -Hg amalgams. In work on Ag/sup 110/ the rate of carrier-free Ag adsorption by glass, teflon, polyethylene, and precipitates, and the formation rate of carrier- free radiocolloids was initiated. Data are included on Ag adsorption from nitric acid solutions on pyrex at 3l.8 deg C as a function of reagent concentration and time. Also included are data on adsorption of glass from water, ammonium hydroxide, and sodium carbonate, and from perchloric, hydrochloric, acetic, and sulfuric acid solutions. (J.R.D.)
