Ion exchange chromatography on a new form of tin dioxide for the isolation of strontium radioisotopes from fission products: an application to milk samples

Int J Rad Appl Instrum A. 1990;41(9):905-8. doi: 10.1016/0883-2889(90)90071-n.

Abstract

An amorphous, partially-reduced tin dioxide, having properties of an inorganic exchanger, was tested for application to fission product separations. Due to the good sorption of both strontium and barium the application of the exchanger to radiostrontium isolation from fission product mixtures is subject to important restrictions. An application to 90Sr determination in milk is proposed.
