    Abstract

    Mixtures of 227Ac, 228Th and 226Ra in nitric acid solution were separated by passing through a zirconium phosphate column followed by a titanium phosphate column. The mechanism of ion exchange on TiP was therefore investigated. Distribution coefficients of various ions on TiP were found as a function of molarity of the nitric acid solution and an explanation of the observed selectivity is given. A study of the ion-exchange adsorption of the Th(IV) ion showed it to be adsorbed by TiP as a complex species.
