Abstract: | A rapid separation of radioactive cesium by the solvent extraction method was investigated. Cesium ions are quantitatively extracted with [Cr(NH2C6H5)2(NCS)4]− into nitrobenzene. EDTA is an effective masking agent for other polyvalent cations. The extracted cesium can be back-extracted into the aqueous phase by shaking with 6N HCl. The method was applied to samples of a natural mixture of fission products and a reactor coolant. The decontamination factors for other predominant isotopes in fission products were 102∼104. The separation of137m Ba from a mixture of137Cs and137m Ba is also described. |
