Description

Elution behavior for Am and Cm was studied by cation exchange chromatography with alpha-hydroxyisobutyric acid(α-HiBA) as an eluent using synthetic sample solutions containing fission products and corrosion products for the determination of transuranic elements in radwaste samples generated from nuclear power plants. Optimum separation condition of Am and Cm from metal impurities was found to be 0.35M α-HiBA eluent. The interference effect on determination of 241Am and 244Cm by alpha-spectrometry due to electrodeposition of metal impurities eluted partly together with Am and Cm was checked. 241Am . 244Cm were separated from other metal impurities by cation exchange resin and determined by alpha-spectrometry after uranium and plutonium were removed as a first step by anion exchange resin from the synthetic solution
