Abstract
Separation of I-131 from natural uranium fission product mixtures has been accomplished by sorbing the I-131 on special platinum-charcoal sorbent and desorbing by buffer solution (NaHCO3 + Na2S2O3). High radiochemical and che mical purity is obtained by this method. Important parameters such as tempe rature, distillation rate, sorbing and desorbing rates and I-131 separation yields have been investigated. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights r eserved.
