Abstract

Hafnium and zirconium are separated from uranium using an anion exchange resin column. The two elements are then separated from each other using extraction chromatography and determined separately by precipitation as tetramandelate. The determination method was verfied by isotopic cilution technique. The method proved to be selective, quantitative (>99%) and gives an error of <±2%.
