Neutron Capture Experiments on Unstable Nuclei

Rapid, high-purity, lanthanide separations using HPLC

“…2). Ranges for both variables were chosen to encompass the conditions of previous works cited from the literature [2][3][4][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Separation resolutions were calculated from peak RTs and widths reported directly from the Chormeleon software package provided by Dionex.…”

“…However, due to their similar size and charge (all predominantly reside in the +III oxidation state), all of the elements within the Ln series, especially nearest neighboring Lns, exhibit relatively similar chemistry, so separating mixtures of these elements is a formidable task. In the past, a number of techniques have been used to effect the separation of individual Ln elements and reviews of these techniques are available from the literature [2,3]. To this end, cation exchange chromatography using alpha-hydroxyisobuturic acid (␣-HIB) is widely considered to be the most effective methods for separating these elements.…”
