~20- more sharply defined in the separations. of the 7 The relative heights peaks attributed to Cor! C028 | and 6060 were un- changed (Fig. 4). The low yield of cobalt by the a@-nitroso- —P -naphthol precipitation technique is due partly to loss of cobalt on the 4ron scavenge utilized in the technique and to high self-absorption in the sample’. (2) Separation of cobalt by the Los Alamos method (Klein- berg, 1954). From an original 5,330 c/m Bp in each of the dupli- cate samples, totals of 4,490 and 4,730 c/m A were recovered in the cobalt separations made by the Los Alamos method. The 7 spectrum curves were essentially the same as those of the original sample and as those from the @ -nitroso- BP -naphthol co- balt separations. After the cobalt separations were made by the Los Alamos method, vanadium separations (Meinke, 1949) were done. a .12 and .08 MEV and in both 7 7 and an approximately one-year half life energy and half life resembles Co!” determine that the observed .12 MEV 7 were made. It was found thit the separations was not significantly counted either for A or 7 In order to peak in the cobalt sepa- rations was from Co! and not from vid, when v9 has the vanadium separations activity in the vanadium greater than . Therefore, background the .12 Potassium cobaltinitrite precipitation and extraction of cobalt thiocyanate complex into amyl alcohol ether, with appropriate scavenging steps, (as described in Collected Radiochemical Procedures, LA~-1721)
