TLDR
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.Abstract:
A method was developed to separate radioactive zinc from reactor cooling water by isotope exchange with inert zinc in the form of zinc amalgam. 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 amalgam. The Cu/sup 64/ interference could be removed quantitatively by a pre-extraction into cadmium amalgam. The procedure is rapid and simple enough to warrant application to an automatic analyzer for continuous measurement of radioactive zinc in waste streams. (auth)read more

Radiochemical separation of indium by amalgam-exchange
TL;DR: The radiochemical separation of indium by an amalgam-exchange technique has been critically evaluated for the aqueous hydrogen bromide system as mentioned in this paper, and the efficiency and contamination of the separation has been studied using tracers of 19 different representative elements.

Radiochemical separations by amalgam exchange
TL;DR: 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.
