Abstract

Individual separation of rare earth isotopes from lanthanum to lutetium has been carried out using reverse phase partition chromatography and analyzed by γ-ray spectrometric technique. HDEHP from FLUKA and BDH on inert support celite has been used as extracting agent, whereas hydrochloric acid of different molarities was used as eluting agent. Good separation between individual rare earths has been achieved but the elution pattern differs based on the HDEHP from FLUKA and BDH.
