Description

Adsorption behaviour of Bk(III) on anion-exchange resin in mineral acid-methyl alcohol mixtures was investigated. Berkelium was successively separated with a HCl-CH3OH mixture at elevated temperatures within 5 min from an Al catcher foil collecting the recoil products of the 4He + 241Am reaction. The counting source of Bk was immediately prepared for alpha- and X-ray spectrum measurements. Rapid separation of Bk from Ce was also performed by the use of a HNO3-CH3OH mixtures. (author)
