Abstract

The distribution coefficients of californium and other elements between an anion exchange resin and alcohol solutions of nitric acid of different concentrations have been determined. An effective method is suggested for the purification of californium from other elements which are slightly adsorbed when Cf is concentrated on an anion exchanger from 0.5–1.0N solutions of nitric acid containing 95–90% alcohol; Cf is subsequently eluted with a 0.5N HNO3 solution in 85% CH3OH and simultaneously separated from the elements which are strongly adsorbed on the anion exchange resin. Under the chosen conditions the coefficients of californium purification were determined for a number of elements; the values are 5.4·102–1.8·103 for Al, Ca, Fe and ∼103–105 for Am, Pm, Nd, Ce, Pb, Bi and Na, for one cycle.
