On-the Absolute Age of the Rocks of the East-Antarctic SOV20-126-1-39/62 Platform Card 2/4 first 40 determinations of the absolute age by means of the argon method made more precise ideas possible concerning the structure of the aforesaid plateau. Several results were sur- prising and their geological interpretation meets with sarious difficulties (Table 1). The highest age, i. ea. 1020-1270 Mil-' lion years were obtained,at first for the oases Langeneset, Grirson, Banger, and Obruchev, i. e. for leucocratic granites and pegmatites. The aGe of the weakly migmatuitic (Banger oasis andother regions of the crystalline basement) ro@ks fluctuates between 940 and 1050 million years. So-called poly-migmatites which are 700-730 million years old occur at the same time at several places, especially in the Banger oasis. Thus two migma- titization stages can be separated: a) an earlier one which occurred more than 1000 million years ago, and b) a late one - more than 700 million years ago. Thus the migmatitization of the oldest masses of the eastern Antarctic belongs to the Pro- terozoic. A packet of gnelsses in the region of the Einsvort bay and the Villson. elevation is for the time being the only exception. Weakly migm-atitized biotite-gneisses are here 425- 485 million years old. This agrees almost- with the age of the On the Absolute Age of the Rocks of the East-Antarctic SOV/20-126-1-39/62 Platform here occurring porphyroblastic C;ranites. The age of the green schists and mica phyllites (middle stage of the plateau) fluc- tuates between 400 and 500 million years. This corresponds -to Sinisian and Lower Cambrian. The Rapakivi granites in the ex.- 4. Ureme east of the investigated region has approximately -the same age. The most recent Granitoids are the subalkal-ine bio-- tite-hornblende varieties. They are Caledonian, with an age of 305-315 million yea-ra. The age of the gabbro-dolerite from a stratiform intrusion within the Bikon (Beakon) series (170 million years old) agrees --,,ather well with the geological po- sition (Lower Triass-.1Lc). The same holds in the case of Terti- ary leucite-granite (mountain Gauss) which is approximately 20 million years old. The age determinations of the ment�oned rocks confirm on the whole the authors' assumption concerning the 3-stage structure of the plateau. The old'Gerling constant Xk= 6.02010- 11 year-1 which is much used in the USSR was used for the determination.

TITLE: Isotopic Composition of Lead in Iron Meteorites PERIODICAL: Doklady Akademii nauk SSSR, 1959, Vol 128, Nr 4, pp 688-690 USSR ABSTRACT: C. Patterson et al. (Refs 1,3) found the same composition with respect to lead isotopes in 3 different meteorites, i.e. Pb 204 1; Pb 2o6 9.5; Pb 207 10.4; Pb 208 29-5. His data are in good accordance with the theoretically predicted isotopic composition of lead in iron meteorites. Several authors theoretically computed the isotopic composition of the original lead, extrapolating back into the past (4-5 billion years) the change in the isotopic composition of the lead of varying age found in ore. The values obtained in this way are close to those established experimentally by Patterson. The authors intended to carry otit a close investigation of the problem mentioned in the title. They first examined the lead content Card 1/4 of the Sikhote-Alin' and Chinge meteorites (I. Ye. Starik, Isotopic composition of Lead in Iron Meteorites SOV120-128-4-14165 E. V. Sobotovich, G. P. Lovtsyus, Ref 2). The lead content of thownteorites in the metallic phase is less by at least one order of magnitude than that published by Patterson for the Ca?ion Diavolo meteorite (3-7-10- 7 g1g). The isotopic composition of the troilite and of the metallic phase of the Sikhote-Alin' meteorite are entirely different from the Patterson data. Because of this discrepancy the authors analyzed the meteorites examined by Patterson. The meteorite samples were chemically separated and the lead was pyro- chemically removed (E. V. Sobotovich, Ref 4). Table 1: degree of impurity of the meteorite caused by foreign lead. This impurity caused by foreign lead is only 10-24@4. Assuming that iron meteorites contain original lead, the impurity by oidinaiy lead must be at least 10OVIo of its cosmic content. These- experiments confirmed the results obtained on content and isotopic composition of the lead in the analyzed iron meteor- ites and they made possible to introduce a correction for the foreign-lead impurity. Table 2 contains data on the iso- topic composition of the lead in 3 iron meteorites and the Card 2/4 troilites contained in them. According to it the composition isotopic Composition of Lead in Iron Meteorites SOV/20-128-4-14/65 of the Sikhote-Alin' and Hanbury meteorites is the usual and the isotopic composition of the lead in the ore is analoguous to an age of several hundreds of millions of years. The results obtained by the authors are factually valid for the lead contained in the iron meteorite and they cannot be explained by impurities caused by ordinary lead during the analysis. According to the reeults of the present paper the meteorites have no common genesis in spite of the generally accepted theory. Possibly some of them do not belong to our solar system or they were formed under con- ditions when lead originating from radioactive processes was already present. These meteorites therefore cannot be as old as was previously assumed. If these meteorites do not originate from our solar system, nothing precise can be'said about them. If they come from our solar system they have developed 400-500 millions of years ago. The authors express their abknowledgements to the Komitet po meteoritam AN SSSR (Committee for I'leteorites of the AS USSR) and the Estonskiy geologicheskiy institut (Estonian Geological Institute) for putting at their disposal the meteorite samples.

TITLE: Distribution of Radio Elements in the Sediment .a of the Blwk Sea Al PERIODICAL: I Doklady Akademii nauk SSSR, 1959t Vol 129, Nr 5, PP 1142-1145 (USSR) ABSTRACT: The radioactivity of the sediments in the enclosed aeas is al- most uninvestigated. The Black Sea shows characteristic hydro- logical and hydroahemical codditions. It is also intensively fed with sedimentary material. For this reason its sedimentation strongly differs from that in large wasini waters (Ref 5). In this connection the authors wanted to explain the influence of these specific conditions on the sedimentation and-.On the type of distribution of the radio elements in.-the Black-Sea bottom sediments. The results achieved are not sufficient to draw final conolusions.-For this reason only some assumptione are expreeiid. The authors studied the vertical distrlbution.df.uranium$ radium, ioniUm, thorium, iron, and calcium in a sediment core.vhich was taken from the central part of 'the Blacli *ea from a depth of 2137 m- It was 227 om long and consisted mainly of gray homo- Card 1/3 geneous clay with 5 intermediate sand strati. The upper 18 cm SOVI/20-129-5-50/64 Distribution of Radio Elements in the S'ediments of the Black Sea consisted of extremely fine-disperse mud with thin sapropel in- termediate strata. Figure I shows the vertical distribution of the above-mentioned elements in the core. Table 1'gives the cor- responding figures. From these data it may be concluded that in the upper horizonq of the core the radioactive equilibrium in the'uranium series in widely disturbed; the ionium content ie almost 4 times higher,than the amount corresponding to the equilibrium with uranium; the radium oontentp however, oonati- tutes only 1/4 of this amount.. The radium content in the water of the Black Sea is only 1'5@6 of the equil-ibrium, value of uranium dissolved in the water. Thus the radium-content in the sediment is hardly one fourth of the amount which -should be measured if 85@6 of the radium were sedimeniated from the water. Assuming.that no radium migration'tikes place in the oDres of marine sediments (Ref 1) the discrepane'lin the radium balan" in the water and in the sediment of the Black Sea may-be explained by radium ,leaching from the sediment in itb upper layers. On the other .hand, the upper horizons are considerably earichad with ionium. and uranium. Their content-0 ecreasee downwards to 42-48 cm rapid- ly and then practically riukLns constan-t.*According to N. M.

The main bulk of iron, however, is transported into the deep-seated sediments with the river water. The authors conclude therefrom that the v4rtical CaCO ,-distribution reflects the chan=e of the chemical conditions in tha course . of time. Since t'l,.e ver-, tical distribution of ionium and uranium agrees with V'-. Of CaCO3 it indicates that the main amount of ionium an-' n_-_:. iun was -separated from the solution. On the other hand it. may be concluded from the pArallel change in -the thorium content with V thptt of iron that the major part of thorium is of terrigenous origin. The authors calculated the rate of sedimentation in the Black Sea from the data from table 1. It is 12-13 cm within thousand years. If it is however assumed-that in the horizon 100-106 cm the equilibrium between ionium-and uranium is still attained (Fig 2) the rate of sedimentation is only 0-4-0-5 cm per 1000 years. The problem as to which of the two values 3.9. correct has hitherto not been definitely solved. There are 2 figures, 1 table, and 6 references, 4 of.which are Soviet.

TITLE: Lead and Its Isotopic Composition in Iron Meteorites PERIODICAL: Doklady Akademii nauk SSSR, 196o, vol. 134, No. 3, pp. 555 - 558 TEXT: By way of introduction the authors refer to their discovery (Ref. 1) that meteorites contain lead with various isotopic compositions The present article deals with the investigation of all main groups of iron meteorites (octahedrites of various structureg hexahedrites, and ataxites). From two to three quantitative analyses were made on all of the 12 meteorites investigated, and the isotopic composition of lead was determined at the same time. The results tabulated in Table 1 show that in the majority of these meteorites the isotopic composition of lead corresponds to that of terrestrial lead. No intermediate isotopic composition of lead was discovered. Judging from their composition, the Card 1/4 Lead and Its Isotopic Composition in Iron S/020/60/134/003/006/020 Meteorites Boig/Bo6o 12 meteorites can be classified into two-groups. The first ,-ompr-4ses four meteorites of the same isotopic composition of lead as was first ascertained by Patterson (Ref. 2) and later by the authors themselves. These meteorites are octahedrites of various structures and contain 1 -"2-10-7 g Pb'per gram. The second group comprises the remaining eight meteorites containing lead with an isotopic composition corresponding to terrestrial lead of various ages. All principal meteoritic groups ar represented here. All hexahedrites and ataxites thus belong to that group which contains lead in terrestrial isotopic composition. In them) the lead concentration lies at the lower distribution limit of 2 - 4-10-8 g Pb per gram. The same lead content was established for coarsely structured octahedrites. A lead content of 2-10-7 g Pb per gram was found for medium-structured octahedrites. The first group did not exhibit any marked inhomogeneity in the lead distribution, while the inhomogeneous lead distribution in the second group accounted for dif- ficulties encountered in the determination of the lead content. There are cases in which meteoritic surface zones contain more or less lead Card 2/4 Lead and Its Isotopic Composition in Iron 3/02V60/134/003/006/020 Meteorites B019/ @06o than the core. Closer studies are required to explain this. No relation- ship was established between the lead content and the isotopic composi- tion on the one hand, and the type and structure of iron meteorites on the other. Reference is made to the one to two times larger lead content in troilite inclusions as compared with the content in the iron-nickel phase. Indications regarding the formation of iron meteorites were in- ferred from the existence of the two groups. The conclusion is drawn from the existence of two analogous groups in stony meteorites that the analogous groups originate from a parental body. The authors-thank L. G. Kvash and A. A. Yavnell for their valuable advice. They further thank the komitet po meteoritam AN SSSR (committee on Meteorites of the AS USSR), the komitet po meteoritam AN BSSR (Committee on Meteorites of the AS BSSR), the Tartusskiy geologicheskiy muzey (Tartu Geological Museum) . and the Leningxadskiy gornyy muzey (Leningrad Mining museum).

Ethylbonzone in rec COP- mended from the following considerations# 1)92.3% from the sample can be introduced into the othylbenzone molecule; 2) the othylbenzone molecule it- golf is an excellent solvent of liquid saintills-tors, being inforio,r only to the very boat solvents, much as toluene, xylons; 3) its preparation and ? u- rifioation are simple and do not require complex apparatus or reagents difficult to obtain; 4) for its synthesis a relatively low amount of carbon, 8@15 g, is required.

The counting rats, of the noise pulses at an effectiveness of the count of natural 04 equalling 6o- 65% is 0.5 pulses/min.

The tubes of the apparatus are fed by stabilized sources of anode and incandescent voltage, and the photomultipliers by a jX-9(VSw9)-type high-voltage source. The positive pulses from the exits of two non-overloaded amplifiers are fed to the inputs of the diode low-level disoriminatore (I - in Fig 2). 2 0 I\- 99 The limiting ( 7L 7@- ) diodes are used for eliminating the negative pulse outputs fed to As, lot-level discriminator inputs. The selected photomulti- plier should satisfy the following roquirem*ntsl 1) a high sensitivity of the photocathode, 2) a high total sensitivity, 3) a low noise level, 4) sta- bility over long periods of service, 5)j good temporary resolving power. The adjuotment of the counter for the C-* spectrum is carried out according to the 7-line of C8137. The discriminators of the lower level are installed so that the number of the noise pulses at the output of the circuit of coin- cidences would be equal to 0.5-1 pulses/min. The sample is counted in a 15.5 cm3-volume cuvette made of optic quartzite. The preparation of ethyl- benzene and benzene from the carbon of the investigated material involves the following chemical stepst 1) formsfion of C02'from the sample, 2) pro- duction of strontium carbonate from C02 of the slable, 3) reduction of the Card 4/8 S/186/61/003/001/018/020 Scintillation technique of counting A051/A129 strontium carbonate to strontium carbide, 4) decomposition of strontium car- bide, separation of acetylene from hydrogen and purification of acetylene, 5) synthesis of ethylbenzene from acetylene, 6) purification of ethylbenzene and benzene. The samples to be measured are carbonates or organic substances (coalp wood, peat, eto.). In both cases the carbon of the sample is separat- ed out in the form of CO . The formation of CO 2 from the carbonate samples in performed by the decol;osition of the sample with hydrochloric &aid.

In th6ir study of the sorption of polonium and tellurium by glass frem -tiolutions. the authoriT observed that etching of the glass stxiace with hydrofluoric acid greatly reduces- sorption, For exam-pla ..3orption of po'c-rijum in 15 hours was reduced 4-fold on _Ype 41-36 iL-30") glase and 75-fold on quartz glass; that of Te.1-27 -r, L-ju' glasA in 1-00 minutes was reduced about 3-fold.

The specimens were then removed, washed in ethyl alcohol and air dried. Activity of specimens and a standard was determined on both sides with a -2 (B-2) installation, the standard being a plate of the same dimensi-ons but with a known amount of the test solution deposited on it. The are-a of each side was 3 CM2 for polished and 5 CM2 for grouna Specimens. The results are presented as the ratio of the sorption-coefficient --,ralues for the etched (K2) to that for the unetched (KI) specimens. The coefficient K is defined as the ratio x100 of' :he a@@tivity sorbed on I cm2 of surface to that of I mi of solution. For silver from 0.1 N HN03, K2/K1 x 100 is 44- 58 for polished and 19-64 for ground specimens; from 0.01 N "N03, the value for ground specimens is 15- 19. For phosphate-ion sorption from 0.1 N HN03, K2/Kl X 100 is 50 for polished and 23- 36 for ground specimens. The results indicate that HF-treatment of the glass surface lowers Its ion-exchange +) function, which leads to the lower adsorption of cations (here AS by the etched specimens. The effect with Ag + can be explained by the decrease in the negative charge of the glass through replacement Card-2/4 22994 s/186/61/003/002/004/018 Sorption cf' radio-elements Elii/E452 4. fluorine ions. The lower of hydroxyl groups in (,he2surface by adsorption of anions IJPO-4-) by the HF-treated surface is due to removal as fluorides of metal ions from the surface layer. It WA-S, therefore, 'ri*erasring to repeat the experiments with sorption of an el-amerit which exists in solution in a neutral form; zirconium-95 was chosen. In 0.1 N HN03, the values of K2/Ki x 100 for pol-Lshed spec-imens was 85 - 577 and in 0.5 N HN03, 107-826. The scatter of these results is att:--3Lbutable to the instability of the forms of zirconium present in the solutions. Thay show that with zirconium, the HF-treated su,rfa-,:,s adsorbs more (or about the same amount) than does the unetchc@d surface. Th-is difference from Ag+ and HP 2- could be Ot due to zirconium being adsorbed'in the molecular form which suggests Eimilarity to zircon-tum adsorption on tetrafluoroethylene- plastiz. :Ref.1j: I.Ye.Starik, I.A.Skullskly, Izv.AN SSSR, OKhN, 10, 12-t8 Ref'.16@ I.Ye.Starik, N.I.Ampelogova, F.L.Ginzburg, M.S.Lambet, I.A.Skul7skiy, V.N.Shchebetkovskiy, Radlokhimiya, 1, e, 370 (1959) ).

TITLEt The form in which atonis of radioactive elements exist in minerals PERIODICAL: Radtokhimlya, 1961, Vol.3, No.2, pp.'207-214 TEXTt The authors' study of tht I.L@achability of radioactive elements from minerals has shown that their capillaries contain atoms of isotopes of radt.um and other daughter radio-elementa finding their way there through radioactive recoil. Uranium and thorium, as well as various non--radioactive elements, are also present. They are leached out of monazite and viikite by the action of acid solutlon even when they do not dissolve. The8e results could be explained only by the capillaries of these minerals containing, in addition to daughter-element atoms, thoae of uranium, thorium and the rare-earth elements. For a deeper understanding of the form in which atoms of the elements exist in minerals, the isotope ratios in the damaged parts of the mineral must be found. The authors have developed various methods for finding that proportion of atoms of elements which is located in capillaries and damaged parts of minerals accessible to the leaching solution.

They have called the percentage of all the atoms of an isotope present in a mineral which exist in capillaries and disturbances Of its crystal lattice the "limiting leachabilitylt of this isotope. Limiting leachability values show that capillaries contain enough atoms to form an independent solid phass. The composition of the compounds present there varies with the mineral. Different minerals also have different capillary structures, which accounts for the relative effects of neutral and acid leaching solutions varying from mineral to mineral. Fig.2 shows the values of limiting leachability for radium, uranium and thorium (curves 1, 2 and-3 respectively) as a function of acidity (0- 0.2 N hydrochloric acid). This Indicates that for determinations of limiting leachability acid solutions must be sufficiently acid to dissolve fully the colloidal compounds in the capillaries and bring the atoms of the elements present there into a form capable of exchange with tons of the leaching solution. Solutions containing salta give leachability values less than obtained with salt-free solutions of the same acidity.

The authons show, using results published by Ye.P.Petryayev (Ref-13: Radiokhimiya, 1, 1, 105 (1959)) that in the test sample of monazite 'the* radius of the sphere without capillaries or damaged parts in its surface is 1.7 x 10- 4 'cm - The surface zone has the greatest damage and supplies most atoms entering the capillaries. Unlike atoms in capillaries, those in the damagL-d'parts of the lattice can only be removed by more concentrated acid solutions. The dynamic.leaching of minerals by strong solutions of acids is a fruitful way of studying this part of the lattice.

TITLE: Extraction of Polonium in Various V&Iency States PERIODICAL: Radiokhimiya, 1961, Vol.3, No-3, pp.261-271 TEXT., A brief review of the literature on the valency states of polonium and its extraction is given. It is pointed out that the valency state of polonium in the presence of reducing and oxidizing agents remained uncertain. For this reason the authors investigated the extraction of polonium from hydrochloric and nitric acid containing media in the presence of oxidants-and reducers, controlling its electrode potential of separation under the same conditions, since the value of the electrode potential is an objective indicator of the valency state of polonium. The extraction of polonium with diethyl ether and a 10% solution of tributylphosphate (TBPh) in benzene from solutions of hydrochloric (0.1 to 11 M) and nitric (0.1 to 13 M) acids was studied. The concentration of polonium was I to 2 x 10-121q. Sulphur dioxide, hydrogen peroxide and hydrazine were used as reducing agents and chlorine and potassium dichromate an oxidizing agents. Equal volumes of aqueous phase and a 10% TBPh solution in benzene Card' 1/@@ (- 22486 S/186/61/003/003/oo4/ol8 Extraction of Polonium E071/E435 were shaken for 5 minutes. After settling, the phases were separated and polonium was re-extracted from the organic phase with equal volume of IN HCI. Aliquot portions for the measurements were then taken from the aqueous phase and re-extracted. In the case of extraction with diethyl ether, the latter was preliminarily shaken with a non-active solution of the same composition as that investigated since, at high acid concentrations, a considerable increase in the volume of aqueous phase was observed which was caused by dissolution in It of ether. From the ether phase, polonium was re-extracted with 0.1 N hydrochloric acid. The reduction was carried out by heating a given volume of the solution to 60 to 70*C and bubbling sulphur dioxide for 15 min. After standing for 0.5 to I hour, carbon dioxide was bubbled through the solution. In nitric acid solutions the evolutions of N02 and oxidation Of S02 to sulphate ion was observed. For comparison, extraction of polonium from nitric acid solution containing sulphuric acid was carried out. The reduction with hydrazine and hydrogen peroxide was done-under the same conditions adding them in the form of solutions. Chlorine was bubbled for 30 minutes through the solution which was heated to 60 to 700C. Card 2/7, (r Zr4VU S/186/61/003/003/004/oi8 Extraction of Polonium E071/t435 The chlorine saturated solution was left standing for some hours and extracted. Potassium dichromate was add-ed'to similarly heated'solutions in an amount of 3.6 mg per ml of the solution. Chromium was noticeably extracted'by the solvents used. On contact with the solvents, dichromate was undergoing reducti-in probably due to the presence of peroxidb compounds. Measurements of the electron potential were dbne according to the method . described by D.M.Ziv and'G.S.Sinitayna (Ref.33: Tr.Rad.inst., 8, 127 (1958) ). As a reference, a-standhrd quinhydrone electrode was used. An 0.01 M potassium permanganate solution in 2 M potassium chloride was used on the anode. A gold dine was used an the cathode. The cell was polarized with a current from an external source. Tn some cases (in 5 M HN03 and,HCI in the presence of oxidants) the method of external electrolysis with-, separation of cathodic and anodic space was used. All the results quoted are the mean values of 2 -6 determinations. The reproducibility of the extraction experiments was 12%.

Electrode potentials T of polonium in hydrochloric acid media are plotted in Fig.1 (A, imp/min vs V,V). The dependence of the electrode potentials (9,V) on the concentration of hydrochloric acid is plotted in Fig.2. Plots are also included giving results on: extraction of polonium with other and TBPh from hydrochloric acid solutions; electrode potentials of polonium in nitric acid solutions; the dependence of the electrode potential on the concentration of nitric acid; the extraction with ether and TBPh from nitric acid solutions; the dependence of the potential of anodic precipitation of polonium on the concentration or nitric acid. On the basis of experimental results it is concluded that: 1) In hydrochloric acid solutions in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and sulphur dioxide,polonium is reducad to the divalent state and In the presence of chlorine it is oxidized to the hexavalent state. 2) From hydrochloric acid media diethyl ether extracts only hexavalent polonium which is present in the form of acidocomplexes. TBPh extracts polonium in tetravalent state as well as in the reduced (divalent) state. 3) It was proved that in nitric acid media, reducing agents transfer Card 4/17, L- MOO S/186/61/003/003/004/oi8 Extraction of Polonium E071/E435 polonium into a lower valency state only up to a certain concentration of nitric acid (1.5 to 2.5 M). At higher nitric acid concentrations, oxidation of polonium to the hexavalent state was observed during oxidizing-reducing processes taking place in the solution. In nitric acid solutions, polonium is disproportionate in all valency states. 4) It was found that TBPh does not extract hexavalent polonium from nitric acid solutions, removing only polonium in lower valency states. 5) It was established that from nitric acid media, diethylether extracts only hexavalent polonium, present in an acidocomplex form and does not extract polonium in reduced states. 6) It is shown that oxidation of polonium with a mixture of nitric acid and potassium dichromate, transfers- polonium into the state of (p002-) which separates only on the anode and is not extracted with 4 ether or tributylphosphate.

Adsorption of zirconium on ftoroplast-4 (polytetrafluoroethylene) from hydrochloric acid solutions PERIODICAL., Radiokhimiya, 1961, Vol.3, No.1k, pp. 428-434 TEXT: So far most studies have been concerned with ion- exchange and colloidal adsorption of radioactive isotopes. TO establish the features of molecular adsorption of radioactive isotopes it is most expedient to study a particular element under conditions such that it may form uncharged compounds in solution. In such a case it is possible to consider the molecular adsorption as a distribution of neutral particles of electrolyte between liquid and solid phases, and to compare the results with distribu- tion of the element in extraction processes. Zirconium is particularly suitable for such a study as in aqueous solution it may form neutral complexes of type [Zr(OH)XAX-430 (Ref.5: B..A.Li-ster, L.H.

In this way we may study adsorption an a function of the solution composition and obtain information on the dependence of adsorption on the state of the element in solution in order to dad-ace the mechanism of molecular adsorption. The present work ,onsiders Zr adsorption on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) from hydrcchloric acid solutions, Zr desorption from PTFE surfaces with tributyl phosphate (T5P), and the extraction of Zr into TBP. It was nec@essary to take spcaial measures to ensure that tracer zr95 and carrier zirconium are in the same state, e.g. as regards hydrolysis. Adsorption was studied on polished PTFE discs 5.5 cm2 in area and 1.5 mm thick. Surface treatment with hot concentrated mulphuric acid and water guaranteed rapid and complete desorption of Zr95 while not affecting the adsorption properties. Zr95 a,:@tivity was measured on torsion counter with Al foil to absorb the NO-51 @-radiation from the Nb formed in the course of the experiment. The dependence of zirconium adsorption from 1.2 N HCl on zirconium -on:entration may be expressed by a Freundlich equation of form Card 2/ 4 G = 10-3c 0.91 266o4 Adsorption of radioactive isotopes on ... S/186/61/003/004/003/007 E037/9119 where G is the adsorption in g.atom Zr/cm2 and C is the zirconium.concentration in g.atom/mf. For tracer concentrations K = G/C is indep9ndent of C and is a function only of the state of the Zr. With increasing Zr concentration the adsorption approximates to that corresponding to a monolayer, which indicates that adsorption is taking place over the whole surface and not on individual parts. The temperature dependence of the adsorption was studied in 10 N HCI to avoid hydrolytic effects which are also temperature dependent. The value obtained for the heat of adsorption on the hydrophobic PTFE surface is 2.2 t 0.2 kcal/mole, which is usually characteristic for van der Waals adsorption , The dependence of Zr95 adsorption on HCI concentration may be explained by the change in state of the Zr with changing H+ and Cl- --oncentration. Calculations based on published complex formation -f-enstants (Ref.12: A.S. Solovkin, ZhNKh, Vol.2, 3, 611 (1957)) show that the concentration of neutral zirconium species in very high. It is found that the adsorption increases with the number of hydroxyl groups in the neutral zirconium complex; this is possibly due to the formation of hydrogen bonds between these Card 3/4 26605 S/186/61/003/004/004/007 E037/Ell9 AUTHORS: Starik..

It is interesting to establish how this effect depends on the nature of the cation of the neutral salt in order to make further comparisons between molecular distribution in liquid-solid and liquid-liquid systems. The present work deals with the adsorption of tracer concentrations of Zr95 from 1N nitric, hydrochloric and hydrobromic acids under conditions such that colloidal and hydrolytic forms of zirconium are Card 1/4 266o5 Ada@Drption of radioa::@tive inotopea s/186/61/003/004/004/007 E037/E119 com@,ting with Zr for adsorption on the PTFE but must be connected W-Uh- a change in state of the zirconium in solution. For -extrar.-I-ion of Zr into TBP the salting-out effect for the cations is in the reverse order: Ll > Na @1- K-> NH4 (in HC1). In this case the effect is usually attributed to the different thermodynamic activity of water in the salt solutions. For the same ionic strength as the water activity increases, from Li to Cs, the salting-out effect of the cation decreases in extraction. The reverse seems to hold for the molecular adsorption of Zr on PTFE. Total or partial reversal of this series is sometimes observed in extraction proneases however, and is usually associated with organic solution3 of high dielectric constant. Generally speaking, the adsorption is not contrary to extraction theory and the main points of similarity are: 1) in most cases of adsorption and extra@.-tion there is an increase in uptake with increase i,@ --oncentration of s-4milar anions, and 2) the coefficients of alsorption and ex-11-ra--tion depend on the nature of the salting-out electrolyte.

TITLE- Spectroscopic study of zirconium chloride solutions in connection with the zirconium adsorption on fluoroplast-4 PERIODICAL- Doklady Akademii nauk SSSR, v. 137. no. 2, 1961, 356-358 TEXT: The authors deal with the problem of the distribution of Zr between solution and nonionogenic surface (fluoroplast-4) under the influence of the nature of the cation and the different degree of hydrolysis of the Zr complexes. In a previo@j paper it-was shown thats 1) the distribution coefficient of Zr between solution and fluoroplast-4 decreases with insrea8ing concentration of HC1; 2) at equal ionic strength the adsorption of Zr increases in the presence of cations in the order Li'@< H'+*
