Study on sub-rapid separation of 91Sr
AbstractAbstract
[en] For accurately measurement of the decay data of 91Sr, the prerequisite was to obtain pure 91Sr specimens. Based on the analysis of parent-daughter relationships in the three relevant fission product decay chains, a two-step delayed chemical separation procedure for rapid isolation of 91Sr from neutron-irradiated 235U sample was developed. Two types of dicyclohex-ano-18-crown-6 extraction chromatographic resins were prepared with Kel-F powder and Amberlite XAD-7, respectively, as support. Sr can be rapidly and quantitatively absorbed on both resins and easily eluted from them with deionized water. A corresponding sub-rapid separation device was manufactured in which two delayed extraction chromatographic columns in series were incorporated. The usefulness of the procedure and device was verified by using real fission products solution obtained by dissolution of neutron-irradiated 235U. The whole process is completed within 200 s. The 91Sr product is radioactively pure, with an overall recovery better than 90%. The decontamination factor is greater than 102 for 92Sr, and better than 103 for other radionuclides. The quality of 91Sr. specimens thus prepared can meet the requirements for its decay data measurements. (authors)
