Radiochemical separation of Cobalt

Application of Modified Nanoclay Sorbent for Separation and Preconcentration Trace Amount of Cobalt

The present article reports on the application of modified organo nanoclay as a green, easily prepared and stable solid sorbent for the preconcentration of trace cobalt ion in aqueous solution. The organo nanoclay was modified by adsorption of 5-(4-dimethyl amino-benzylidene) rhodanin reagent onto it. The sorption of Co2+ ions was quantitative in the pH range of 7.0 to 8.5, whereas quantitative...

A new method for radiochemical separation of arsenic from irradiated germanium oxide.

Radioarsenic labelled radiopharmaceuticals could be a valuable asset to Positron Emission Tomography (PET). In particular, the long half-lives of (72)As (T(1/2)=26 h) and (74)As (T(1/2)=17.8 d) allow to investigate slow physiological or metabolical processes, like the enrichment and distribution of antibodies in tumor tissue. This work describes the direct production of no-carrier-added (nca) a...

Radiochemical Analysis of Water

This report describes the methods and procedures used by the U.S. Geological Survey Tritium Laboratory to analyze natural waters for tritium activity. Samples having low activity are electrolytically enriched in cells with nickel and steel electrodes, and their tritium concentration is subsequently determined by liquid scintillation and gas phase counting techniques. Samples having high tritium...

Britain A Radiochemical Renin Assay

1. A synthetic 3-([14C]valine)-labelled tetradecapeptide renin substrate was used to measure renin concentration. Renin liberated "4C-labelled angiotensin I, which was separated from the labelled substrate by paper chromatography. The conversion ofsubstrate into angiotensin I was quantitated by liquid-scintillation counting of radioactivity. 2. The rate of conversion of the substrate into angio...
