Abstract

A procedure has been presented for the separation of carrier-free cesium from the fission products. The method makes use of coprecipitation with thallium(I) dipicrylaminate followed by solvent extraction with methylisobutyl ketone in the presence of hydrochloric acid and an oxidizing agent. The recovery of active cesium is about 90% and the gross decontamination factor is more than 10⁴.
