Deposition of Artificial Radio-Elements by Electro-chemical Exchange

Abstract

THE method of preparation of sources of some natural radio-elements (polonium, radium C, etc.) on metallic plates by electrochemical exchange and the advantages that it presents are well known. I have tried to apply the method to the separation of radio-copper (period 10 hr.) from zinc. Preliminary experiments have shown that, of the metals nickel, tin, lead and iron which are in the series of tension between copper and zinc, lead gives the best results.
