Abstract

A simple method has been developed for the rapid separation of234Th /UX1/ from uranyl nitrate hexahydrate. The method is based on selective dissolution of uranyl nitrate by diethyl ether on a filter paper. It is shown that almost all UX1 is adsorbed by the filter paper which can be desorbed and brought into solution by 5N HCl or HNO3. The effect of different parameters on the separation have also been investigated.
