Description

Separation of 131I from natural uranium fission product mixtures has been accomplished by sorbing the 131I on special platinum–charcoal sorbent and desorbing by buffer solution (NaHCO3+Na2S2O3). High radiochemical and chemical purity is obtained by this method. Important parameters such as temperature, distillation rate, sorbing and desorbing rates and 131I separation yields have been investigated.
