Abstract

"The rapid increase in radioisotope applicat i ons necessitates improved technology for separation and purification of the fission product elements. Electrodialysis techniques employing Permutit anion exchange membranes (3148) and cation exchange membranes (3142) were used to separate strontium from cesium and to fractionate cerium from promethium. The methods were based upon organic complex formations in basic solution.

Separations of radio strontium and radio cesium were affected with both anion and cation exchange membranes in a three-cell electro dialyzer with EDTA as a chelating agent at a pH of 11.0o Fractionation of radiocerium and radio promethium were affected with anion exchange membranes in a two-cell electro dialyzer with potassium gluconate as a complexing agent at a pH of 10.6"-- Abstract, p. ii
