TLDR
In this article, a procedure for the rapid and selective separation of radioisotopes using amalgam exchange was developed, which takes place by virtue of the rapid exchange occurring between an element present in a dilute amalgam and its ions in solution.

Neutron activation analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, high energy neutron irradiation of the sample, measurement of the thermal neutron flux in the sample and monitoring the gamma radiation from the sample at energies of (a) 1.78 MeV and (b) 0.844 MEV and/or 1.015 MeV.

Separation of Radioactive Zinc from Reactor Cooling Water by an Isotope Exchange Method

W. B. Silker
- 01 Feb 1961 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a method was developed to separate radioactive zinc from reactor cooling water by isotope exchange with inert zinc in the form of zinc amalgam, and the radioactive zinc was recovered in high yield and free from all other activities except Cu/sup 64/ and traces of Mn/sup 56/ by a single contact with zinc amalgams.

Radiochemical Separation of Bismuth by Amalgam Exchange.

TL;DR: In this article, the radiochemical separation of bismuth by amalgam exchange in an aqueous sulfuric acid system was evaluated, and a back-extraction with saturated cupric sulfate in 1.0N nitric acid was performed.
