Abstract
A procedure was developed for preparing high-purity magnesium oxide for use in growing single crystals needed in studies of radiation effects. The procedure consists in dissolving high-purity sublimed magnesium metal in nitric acid, extracting impurities from the solution into a TTA--Hexone solution, precipitating magnesium carbonate from the aqueous phase, and igniting the magnesium carbonate to magnesium oxide. Amounts of magnesinm oxide from gram to pound quantities can be prepared. (auth)
