The sorption of Am, Cm, Bk, Cf, certain fragments and other elements on anion-exchange resins from aqueous alcohol solutions of nitric acid was investigated. The influence of the acid and alcohol concentrations, the nature of the alcohol in solution, the content of divinylbenzene in the resin, and the degree of contamination of the resin by the macrocomponent on the distribution coefficients and separation factor of the elements were studied. The possibility of the use of aqueous alcohol solutions of nitric acid and anion-exchange resins for the isolation of macroquantities of transplutonium elements from irradiated plutonium and the production of high-purity preparations of californium was demonstrated. The use of aqueous alcohol solutions of HCl, LiCl, and NH/sub 4/SCN was proposed for the group separation of transplutonium and rare earth elements. 8 fig.
