113Sn-113mIn generator with a glass beads column

The adsorption characteristics of ¹¹³Sn(IV) and ^113mIn(III) on glass beads from NaCl solutions have been studied. On the basis of these studies, ¹¹³Sn-^113mIn generator has been prepared by adsorbing ¹¹³Sn on the glass beads column. ^113mIn has been eluted by the 0.16M NaCl solution with pH 3.0, remaining ¹¹³Sn adsorbed on the glass beads. The yield of ^113mIn has been about 73% in the first 6 ml of eluate, while the breakthrough of ¹¹³Sn has been about 0.042%.     

Adsorption of Freon 113

Summary The adsorption of Freon 113 (1,1,2 trichloro-1,2,2 trifluoroethane) at 260–310 K on Graphon was measured and compared with the adsorption of krypton at 104–120 K on the same surface. The adsorption isotherms, and resulting thermodynamics, for both adsorbates were similar over the entire pressure range studied. Surface area analysis of the data suggests that the Freon molecule occupies approximately 2.5 times the area of the krypton molecule on Graphon. Further, the Freon molecules are hindered in their rotational freedom on this surface at these temperatures, with their dipole axes aligning perpendicular to the surface of the Graphon.

Zusammenfassung Es wurde die Adsorption von Freon 113 (1,1,2 Trichlor-1,2,2 Trifluoräthan) an Graphon bei 260–310 °K gemessen und mit der Adsorption von Krypton bei 104–120 °K auf der gleichen Grenzfläche gemessen. Die Adsorptionsisothermen und die daraus resultierenden thermodynamischen Daten waren für beide Adsorbate im gesamten untersuchten Druckbereich ähnlich. Eine Analyse der Daten legt nahe, daß ein Freonmolekiil annähernd das 2,5fache der Fläche eines Kryptonmoleküls auf Graphon beansprucht. Es ist anzunehmen, daß die Freonmoleküle auf dieser Oberfläche und bei diesen Temperaturen in ihren Rotationsfreiheitsgraden gehindert sind und ihre Dipolachsen senkrecht zur Oberfläche liegen.

Separation of113mIn from113Sn on an isotope generator with inorganic ionite

A method of preparation of hydrated zirconium oxide suitable for^113mIn generators was elaborated. A good separation of^113mIn from¹¹³Sn was obtained in the course of routine use of generator, with a very small admixture of zirconium in the eluate.     

113mIn radioisotope generator system

Tin-indium generator systems were made with commercial hydrated zirconium oxide, silica gel and hydrated zirconium oxide prepared by the AMPHLETT method. The adsorption capacity of tin has been determined by both spectrophotometric analysis and gammaspectrometry. Zirconium break-through has been determined and compared with the literature values. The dependence of the adsorption capacity on the particle size has been investigated. The effect of autoclaving on the generator systems has been examined.     

Etude des generateurs d'indium-113m

Methods are proposed for the determination of¹¹³Sn in the eluate of an^113mIn generator as well as for the analysis of its chemical and radionuclidic purity. Two generators of different origin have been studied. The presence of the radioisotopes¹¹³Sn,¹²⁵Sb,^125mTe and the elements Zr, Si and Fe have been found in the eluate. Recommendations are given for the use of such generators.     

Integrated band intensities of 1,1,1-trichlorotrifluoroethane,CFC113a,and 1,1,2-trichlorotrifluoroethane,CFC113

The integrated band intensities of 1,1,2-trichlorotrifluoroethane, CFC113, and 1,1,1-trichlorotrifluoroethane, CFC113a, have been measured, the latter for the first time. The former are in reasonable agreement with the reported results of Varanasi and Chudamani [J. Geophys. Res. 93, 1666 (1988)]. The total integrated intensities in the range 1300 to 700 cm⁻¹ are, respectively, 3218 and 3138 atm⁻¹ cm⁻². Attention is drawn to possible significant sources of error deriving from choices of band shape.     

Spectral Characteristics and Transformations of Intermediates in Irradiated Freon 11, Freon 113, and Freon 113a

Optical absorption bands observable in Freon 11, Freon 113, and Freon 113a irradiated at 77 K were assigned to various intermediates (radical cations, radical ion pairs, and complexes of radicals with ions). The transformations of these species in thermal and photochemical reactions occurring at 77 K were studied. On the basis of experimental results, it was suggested that the radical anions of Freon 11 and Freon 113 are unstable at 77 K and the spatial distribution of the intermediates produced is inhomogeneous.     

Determination of113mCd in natural water

A method has been developed for the determination of^113mCd from fallout in large-volume environmental water samples. In the analytical procedure a known amount of cadmium carrier is added to the sample and the cadmium is preconcentrated as insoluble hydroxide by coprecipitation with ferric hydroxide. The separated cadmium is purified from other interfering elements by an anion—exchange procedure. Finally, cadmium is coprecipitated with copper sulfide, and the radioactivity of^113mCd is measured in a lowbackground, gas-flow proportional beta counter. The cadmium recovery is established by determining the amount of Cd in the precipitate using an energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectrometer. For a 24hr counting period a lower limit of detection around 50μBq^113mCd/1 of sample has been attained. Samples of Lake Michigan water were analyzed: the concentration of^113mCd in 1980 was 177±5 μBq/l.
