“…On the other hand, Schulz (1972) reported good extraction of 233 Pa by DIBC from 7.4 M HNO 3 solutions containing 1.4 M Th (NO 3 ) 4 and 480 Ci L -1 of 233 Pa. Macroscopic amounts of 233 Pa have also been recovered from HNO 3 solutions of irradiated ThO 2 by adsorption on powdered unfired Vycor glass and silica gel (Moore and Rainey, 1964;Goode and Moore, 1967); at tracer levels, 233 Pa has been separated from Th targets by adsorption on silica gel Spitsyn et al, 1969;Chang et al, 1974;Chang and Ting, 1975b), on quartz sand (Sakanoue and Abe, 1967), and on activated charcoal saturated with PAA (Pal'shin et al, 1966). Separations with cation and chelating resins (Kurodo and Ishida, 1965;Myasoedov et al, 1969), by paper chromatography and paper electrophoresis (Vernois, 1958(Vernois, , 1959Myasoedov et al, 1969), and by reversed-phase partition chromatography (Fidelis et al, 1963) have also been reported.…”
