Separating actinides, e.g. to recover pure elements for medicinal or analytical applications, by chromatography on weakly basic anion exchange resin, eluting with mixture of nitric acid and alcohol

摘要

Separation of actinide elements involves introducing a solution containing the actinide elements into a column packed with weakly basic anion exchange resin, then eluting with a mixture of nitric acid and alkyl alcohol to cause chromatographic separation of the various actinide elements.
