Abstract

Adsorption behaviour of Bk/III/ on anion-exchange resin in mineral acid-methyl alcohol mixtures has been investigated. Berkelium was successively separated with a HCl−CH3OH mixture at elevated temperatures within 5 min from an Al catcher foil collecting the recoil products of the4He+241Am reaction. The counting source of Bk was immediately prepared for alpha- and X-ray spectrum measurements. Rapid separation of Bk from Ce was also performed by the use of a HNO3−CH3OH mixture.
