Separation of {sup 133}Xe from {sup 99}Mo, {sup 131}I and uranium, and removal of impurities using gas chromatography

Abstract

Separation and purification of {sup 133}Xe from acidic solution containing uranium, {sup 99}Mo and {sup 131}I has been developed. In the first step of this work, uranium pellets were dissolved under pressure (8-15 bar) in 8M nitric acid solution. Then {sup 133}Xe and other gases were conducted to activated charcoal cold trap. Final purification of {sup 133}Xe from impurities such as NO{sub x}, radioiodine and krypton was performed by passing through a molecular sieve preparative chromatographic column using helium as mobile phase. The final recovery of {sup 133}Xe from the separation-purification process was higher than 98%. Adsorption-desorption behavior of radioxenon on the charcoal and molecular sieves have also been studied and discussed. (author)
