| Abstract: | Theoretical calculation shows considerable cross section for production of145,146Eu through133Cs(16O,xn) nuclear reaction. To reduce the trials with costly particle accelerators beam time experimental simulation for separation
of carrier free europium from cesium target matrix has been performed. Trace amounts of152,154Eu have been separated from macro and trace amounts of cesium. A high separation factor has been achieved when 1% HDEHP and
10−3M HCl is used as organic and aqueous phase respectively. Trace europium has been successfully back extracted into HCl, ethylenediaminetetraacetic
acid (EDTA) and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) medium. |
