A study of the Pm147 separation Radiokhimiya, v. 2, no. 6, ig6o, 715 - 719 TEXT: The authors attempted to find the optimum conditions for the separation of Pm 147 using various additives &-nd adding lithium carbonate to the electrolyte. Experiments using tartaric, succin~c, citric and lactic acids were conducted to establish the best additive for pm147 separation by the electrolysis method. The action of the acidity of the medium on Pgi147 was Investigated at a constant concentration of the additives of 1-33 - 10-0 M. The results obtained show the optimum concentrations of the additives and the pH of the medium for the given additive. The experimental conditions were as follows: vol".&ge in the bath 9 v, current density on the cathode 4.2 ma/cm2, temperature 300c, quantity of mercury 177 9, volume of the investl ated solution 10 ml, pH of the medium 7.0, concentration of lactic acid 4 - 10-1 M, duration of the experiment 30 minutes.

Purther studies were made of thR,medium's temperature values in the separation of PmI47. It Is seen that the Pml yield at a temperature of 400c and over Increases some- what. This behavio is explained by the change of the stability of amalgam with temperature by the instability constant of the complexes and the diffusXon value of the ions of mercury in the solution. Optimum conditions for the PmI47 separa- tion were found to be: cu,~rent density 5 ma/cm2, temperature of the medium 700C, volume of solution 10 ml, pH of the medium 7, concentration of Li2CO3 4.5 -lo-3 m. It was established that the best yield is obtained with lactic acid, and a somewhat lower yield with citric and tartaric acids. With lactic acid as the additive 99 % of PmI47 was deposited.

A study of Nb95 deposition without a carrier PERIODICAL: Radlokhimiya, v. 2, no. 6, ig6o, 72o - 722 TM: The authors conducted eAperiments in the laboratory as a preli- minary check of the electrolysis )f sulfuric and hydrofluoric solutions containing niobium on a mercury cathode. No niobium deposit was noted within a wide range of the acidity of the medium from PH - 2 to 5 n of H2SO4 at a current of 0.5 to 5 a and electrolysIs duratJon of 2 1/2 hours. The experiments conducted subse- qu,--ntly showed that. the elenatrolysis of a hydrofluoric solution did not produce 1~6 nicbium deposit.

TITLE: A study-of the separation of La 14o -Ya9l, La140_pm147 and Sr9O-Y9Q mixtures on a tri-valent cerium iodate precipitate. PERIODICAL, Radiokhimiya, v. 2, no. 6, 196o, 723 - 7127 TEXT- A study was made of the copreoipitation of La140, pM147, y91 &Md Sr9O + Y90 onla cerium iodate precipitate in the absence of trilon B, based on the theories of the three types of "homogeneous precipitation". The three differ- ent cases are given as: 1) "homogeneous precipitation" with gradual reduction of the solution acidity in the presence of an excess of the precipitating agent; 2) "homogeneous precipitation" with the appearance of precipitating Ions in the so- lution; 3) "homogeneous precipitation"llith grgdual decomposition of the complex compounds. The complete capture of La 0, Pml'47 and Y91 in a saturated solution of KI03 led to the assLm4tion that not only La3+, and Pm3+, but also Y3+ do not form soluble anion 0ouiplexes with KIO A study of the solubility of lanthanum and yttrium isdates at various concentrations of KI03 up to saturation showed that Card 1/~ 24092 8/186/60/oO2/006/017/oc-6 A study of the separation of A051/A129 no noticeable soluble complex compounds of La3+, Y3+ with KIO 3 are formed under the given condltLons~ The following equilibrium is derived: 3+ 4- La EDTAI La + [=A] where [EDrA] 4- is the anion part of trilon B. The experime-t was carried out under the following conditions 0.40 ml of a buffer solution (8 ml of 98 % acetic acid Plus 7.2 ml of 2.25 n NaOH plus 0.8 ml water) was added to 2.2 ml of trilon B (20 mg of trilon B, pH = 8.0) u-itaining the corresponding radioactive isotope., the obtained solution was mixed and left to stand for 10 minutes. Then 17.4 ml of a saturated solution of K103 was added while mixing and the solution was left to stand again for about 10 minutes, after which 150 mg of crystallized KIO was added. After mixing for 30 minutes, a fresh precipitate of cerium iodate Pil) was introduced, containing 5 mg of Ce3+; there Is complete capture of La14 , pml47, Y9q.And Sr9O by iodate precipitate of trivalent cerium in the saturated solution of KI03 . Thus, it was shown experimentally that with the gradual decomposition of the cerium comnlex compound with trilon B in the prese4ce of XTO 3 conditions are created for the "homogeneoua precipitation" of ce(III) iodate and for the se- Card 2/3 24092 s/186/6o/oo2/0o6/017/026 A study of the separation of ....

Represen- taiives of these three institutes took part in the discussion, as well as workers from the Institut atomnoy energii AN SSSR im. I.V. Kurchazova (Atomic Energy Institute im. I.V.

At the plenary session B.I. Styro re- viewed studies of the atmospheric radioactivity and investigations of meteorological processes using radioactive substances in the atmosphere; he also indicated future directions of s-.udies.

Solodikhina (IAG) dealt with simultaneous measure- ments of the natural radioactivity of atmospheric precipitation a, 3200 and 2200 m; the differences between the activity of rain water ai these two levels were used to find the "washing-out" coefficient, Solodikhina reported also that in 1959 precipitation over dry land was about four times more active than above the open ocean. LL, Karol' and S~G. Malakhov reviewed global studies of the radioactive .Lmpur--ities (inc.Luding Sr90) in the atmosphere and on the earth7s surface. The radioactive conta~,,mination of -t-he lowest layers of the atmosphere was discussed also oy V.P. Shvedov, Z~G. Gritchenko and M.I. Zhilkina (RI). S.G. Malakhov (IAG) reported measurements of the contamination in the lowest layers of the atmosphere due to nu- clear weapon tests; it was found that between 1955 and 1959 the concentration of P-active aerosols in air increased very consi er- ably and this concentration was used to find the amount of Sr98 in Card 3/5 Wr S/04 9/6!/'0G0/"004/"008/008 .1 conference on the problems D257/D306 the atmosphere.

The formation of these substances is ascribed to the appearance of free radicals on irradiation of (I). The total yield of phosphorus containing radiolysis products amounts to 0.77 mole/100 ev of the energy absorbed at an irradiation dose of 3.5 x 1021-.ev/g, which indicates a high stability of (1) to y-irradiation in comparison with that of trialkylphosphates.

The yield of PF decreased with increasing molar proportions of water in the mixtures both in the case of tributyl phosphate (TBP) and of triethyl phosphate (TEP). For mixtures TBP-water the yield deviated considerably from that calculated by the law of averages. In the case TEP - water this was not observed, The authors presume that this behavior of the mixtures may be due to the formation (in the case of TEP) of unstable compounds and also of various complex compounds of TAP and water.

After standing 4o-60 minutes the precipitate was separated by centrifuging and washed with glacial acetic acid until the washings were no longer yellow. After a final wash with alcohol the precipitate was dried at 140-160 OC to constant weight. The chemical purity of the C53B'2I9 was checked by spectrographic analysis and showed no contamination by any likely radioactive element or Co and Cu. Traces of Ni, Mg, K and Na in quantities less than 10,,o were present. After reprecipitation of the Cs-7,B'219 none of these elements could be detected, The radiochemical purity of the recovered cs137 was checked by P-decay curves and by y-spectrometry. Following the p.-decay curve over 12-20 months showed that no activity with a half-life of less than 5 years was present. y-spectrometry was carried out using a single channel Card 3/ 5 33-L87 The radiochemical determination s/186/61/003/006/007/010 E051/E135 scintillation counter with a sodium iodide crystal, measuring the o.662 Kev cs137 peak.
