Description

Following the discovery of radioactivity, Marie Curie performed radiochemical separations and discovered two new elements, polonium and radium. Hahn's discovery of fission made available a large number of short-lived fission products. Nuclear chemists developed and are using fast chemical separations to study the characteristics of short-lived fission products. Types of fast chemical separations currently used are described, along with some examples. The chemical nature of products formed in a gas jet used for the study of short-lived bromine and iodine is also described. (author). 59 refs., 7 figs
