摘要 |
This invention relates to a method of enriching lanthanide and actinide isotopes which comprises loading at least one target lanthanide or actinide cation onto a finely divided particle of synthetic faujasite, heating said located faujasite at a temperature in the range of 350 DEG to 750 DEG C. to fix said cation, irradiating said previously heated faujasite with a neutron source to induce a (n, gamma ) transmutation reaction, and then selectively eluting a transmutation product having an atomic number greater than the irradiated target cation.
