A Solvent Extraction Method for Neptunium (237) Analysis (open access)

A Solvent Extraction Method for Neptunium (237) Analysis

Technical report describing a rapid and quantitative radiochemical method for the analysis of neptunium (237). This method is based on the extraction of neptunium (IV) with thenoyl-trifluoracetone in xylene. Neptunium (237) is separated free from other alpha emitters and from non-radioactive interferences, and the method may be readily adapted to remote control. [From Abstract]
