The hafnium- to-zirconium separation factor is approximately constant (~ 8) over the 0.5--3 N range. Under certain conditions, an unseparated fraction was observed that was not retained by the resin. The amount of this fraction, which is thought to be a polymeric hydrolysis product, appears to be a function of metal and sulfuric acid ...

Extraction of 178m2 Hf from the irradiated ytterbium target was the goal of the radiochemical separation. To trace the chemical yield of hafnium, 172 Hf (t 1/2 = 1.8 a) was used and monitored by γ-ray spectrometry during the chemical processing and to calculate the RY of hafnium. Similarly, 173 Lu (t 1/2 = 500 days) was chosen to trace ...

Separation of Zirconium and Hafnium. Since zirconium metal and hafnium metal have similar chemical properties, contamination of zirconium with hafnium or vice versa is not problematic for most of their applications. However, their neutron-absorbing properties have a great difference which makes it important to separate the two metals from each ...
