Abstract
Evidence for the cathodic deposition of222Rn was given in experiments involving the electrodeposition of226Ra and its daughters from an ethanolic solution slightly acidified with hydrogen fluoride. The presence of silicate ions was found to be essential for the radon deposition to take place.
