Abstract
Anhydrous and hydrated crystals of sodium and lithium permanganates have been irradiated with neutrons. After irradiation, the crystals were subjected to hydration and dehydration, and the effect of this treatment on the retention of radioactive manganese in the form of the permanganate ion was determined. Hydration of irradiated anhydrous sodium and lithium permanganates decreases the retention observed when the solids are dissolved in basic solutions. Dehydration of the irradiated trihydrate causes little change in the observed retention for sodium permanganate, but a pronounced decrease for lithium permanganate. The significance of the results is discussed.Keywords
