Summary:

Trace levels of actinides have been separated on extraction chromatography columns. Detection of the actinides was achieved using an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS), which was coupled with the extraction chromatography system. In this study we compare 30 cm long, 4.6 mm ID columns to capillary columns (750 {micro}m ID) with lengths from 30 cm up to 150 cm. The columns that were tested were packed with TRU resin. We were able to separate a mixture of five actinides (²³²Th, ²³⁸U, ²³⁷Np, ²³⁹pU, ²⁴¹Am). This work has application to rapid bioassay as well as for automated separations of actinide materials.
