Abstract

Titanium phosphate as ion exchanger for column operation has been prepared by mixing TiCl4 and H3PO4 in suitable proportion. The ratio of titanium: phosphate was obtained to be 1:2.02. The uptake of Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+, Ag+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, Pb2+, Sc3+, Co3+, Y3+, Tb3+, Zr4+ and Th4+ cations at very small concentrations has been studied on this exchanger. The data indicated that the different cations are adsorbed in the exchanger by different mechanisms. Radiochemical separations of carrier free95Nb from95Zr, UX1 from U and45Ca from46Sc have been achieved by adopting very simple chemical procedures through a column of titanium phosphate. The γ-spectrum of the separated95Nb, UX1 and46Sc showed that the products are of high radionuclidic purity. The individual separation procedures took less than 20 min and the yields are quantitative.
