Description
An electrochemical method has been developed to separate selenium isotopes from the spallation products induced in RbBr targets by 800-MeV protons. The selenium isotopes were electrolytically deposited as copper(I) selenide at the surface of a platinum gauze electrode. The copper(I) selenide was then chemically stripped from the electrode in an oxidizing acid environment. This solution was evaporated to soft dryness. The condensate was brought up in 0.1 F HCl and passed through a cation exchange column. Recoveries of better than 80% were obtained. (author)
