Dissertation
01 Jan 1972
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of water composition as they apply to the design of activated alumina and virgin and regenerated bone char defluoridation units were studied. And the results showed that ionic strength, divalent metal ions, arsenic, and pH connected to buffering capacity have significant effects.
Abstract: The effects of water composition as they apply to the design of virgin and regenerated activated alumina and virgin and regenerated bone char defluoridation units were studied. Freundlich isotherm analysis was used to determine the degree of the effect compared to an arbitrary standard. The results showed that ionic strength, divalent metal ions, arsenic, and pH connected to buffering capacity have significant effects. The anions sulfate, nitrate, and chloride showed negligible effect on the removal of fluoride.

TL;DR: In this paper, the radioisotope 99Mo generated through the fission of neutron-irradiated uranium targets was separated in an extremely radiochemically pure state, and the target dissolution mixture was run on a silica gel column whereby the serious radiocontaminants of 99Mo, was adsorbed on the gel.
Abstract: The radioisotope99Mo generated through the fission of neutron-irradiated uranium targets was separated in an extremely radiochemically pure state. The target dissolution mixture was run on a silica gel column whereby the95Zr−95Nb activity, the serious radiocontaminants of99Mo, was adsorbed on the gel. The effluent from the gel column was processed and treated with sodium dihydrogen phosphate. The processed solution was run on an activated alumina column whereby99Mo was adsorbed as phospho-molybdate complex ion, then desorbed from the column as the molybdate ion by eluting with 10% NaOH solution. By recycling the adsorption and desorption steps on alumnia,99Mo was finally obtained totally free from all other radiocontaminants.
