A METHOD OF PURIFICATION OF AMERICIUM
As one of the general methods of purification of americium the rough separation of the impurities by using precipitation method and the purification by using ion exchange method were tried and satisfactory results were obtained. In this experiment, all impurities except aluminum and manganese were separated from americium using the anion exchange separation with 9 M HCl eluant and with 5 M NH/sub 4/SCN eluant. Aluminum and manganese can be separated using NaOH dissolution and 2 M NH/sub 4/SCN elution: methods which are applicable together with the above-mentioned anion exchange methods. Some interesting facts were observed during the process of elution with NH/sub 4/SCN from the cation and anion exchange columns. (auth)
