Title: Production and separation of carrier-free ⁷Be

Abstract

A high-purity carrier-free ⁷Be was efficiently isolated following proton bombardment of a lithium hydroxide - aluminum target. The separation of beryllium from lithium and aluminum was achieved through a hydrochloric acid elution system utilizing cation exchange chromatography. The beryllium recovery, +99%, was assessed through gamma spectroscopy while the chemical purity was established by mass spectrometry. In conclusion, the decontamination factors of beryllium from lithium and aluminum were determined to be 6900 and 300, respectively.

Separation of carrier-free /sup 99m/Tc from /sup 99/Mo and /sup 144/Pr from /sup 144/Ce over a column of zirconium arsenate. [Leaching with lead nitrates, nitric acid, sodium bromates, water, and KIO/sub 4/]

Journal Article Bhattacharyya, D K ; De, A - Sep. Sci. Technol.; (United States)

Carrier-free /sup 99m/Tc and /sup 144/Pr activities were separated from /sup 99/Mo and /sup 144/Ce, respectively, by using simple chemical procedures and a column of zirconium arsenate. A crystalline variety of zirconium arsenate was prepared by mixing a proportionate quantity of sodium arsenate solution in water with a solution of zirconium oxychloride in 2N HCl at 70/sup 0/C. The ratio of zirconium:arsenate was 1:2. ..gamma..-Ray spectra of the separated /sup 99m/Tc, and ..beta..-decay studies of /sup 144/Pr showed that both were of high radionuclidic purity. The overall separation processes were simple, clean, and in each case required less than halfmore »« less

PRODUCTION OF CHLORINE-36 AND CARRIER-FREE SULPHUR-35 FROM PILE IRRADIATED POTASSIUM CHLORIDE

Journal Article Mani, R S ; Subramanian, M ; Iya, V K - Indian Journal of Technology (India) Supersedes J. Sci. Ind. Res., Sect. D

A simple and rapid method for the routine production of Cl/sup 36/ and carrier-free S/sup 35/ from pile-irradiated potassium chloride is reported. A dilute hydrochloric acid solution of irradiated potassium chloride is passed through a column of chromatographic grade alumina, when S/sup 35/ is quantitatively retained on the column and potassium chloride passes down. Sulfur- 35 is eluted out of the column Nith dilute ammonia solution, and traces of aluminum and any heavy metal impurities present in the eluate are separated out by precipitation as hydroxides. Chlorine-36 is recovered from the effluent potassium chloride solution by distillation with dilute sulfuricmore » acid. (auth)« less
SEPARATION OF CARRIER-FREE P$sup 32$ FROM SULFUR IRRADIATED IN A REACTOR BY ADSORPTION ON ALUMINA (in Italian)

Journal Article Bresesti, M ; Del Turco, A M ; Lanz, R - Annali di Chimica (Rome) (Italy)

A method for separating carrier free P/sup 32/ from reactor irradiated sulfur is given. The sulfur is dissolved in toluene and the solution is passed through an alumina column which adsorbs the P/sup 32/. 0.5 N NaOH was used as eluant. The resulting solution was made pH2 and was passed through acid Amberlite IR-120 which adsorbs the cations present. The radiochemical purity of the final solution is more than 99%. The separation yield is about 85%. The chemical form of the P/sup 32/ in various stages of the process was studied by means of chromatographic analysis. On the basis ofmore »« less

Carrier-free S/up 35/ is extracted from irradiated KCl, by absorbing the S/sup 35/ on an alumina column and eluting with ammonium hydroxide. The S/sup 35/ has a radiochemical purity higher than 99%. The apparatus used in the preparation of curie quantities of S/sup 35/ is shown. (auth)
Role of hydrous titanium oxide on the uptake of several tracer cations, and separation of carrier-free sup 125m Te from sup 125 Sb and sup 132 I from sup 132 Te

Journal Article Bhattacharyya, D K ; Dutta, N C - Separation Science and Technology; (United States)

Hydrous titanium oxide of good column quality was prepared from a solution of titanic chloride by precipitation with ammonia. The composition of the exchanger was ascertained by TGA to be TiO{sub 2}{center dot}0.73H{sub 2}O with an IEC value 0.29 meq/g. Study on the uptake of 21 tracer cations over titania showed high adsorption for many cations. Radiochemical separations of carrier-free {sup 125m}Te and {sup 132}I from {sup 125}Sb and {sup 132}Te, respectively, have been carried out on a titania exchanger column by applying very simple chemical procedures.
