A specifically designed procedure, leveraging a new PSresin and bis-(3-trimethylsilyl-1-propyl)-methanediphosphonic acid extractant, was created for the selective separation of all actinides, radium, and polonium. Employing nitric acid at pH 2 resulted in both complete detection (100%) and ...
Dvi-tellurium is, of course, polonium. To date, only PoO and PoO2 have been prepared. Implications for teaching (1) One implication of all this for the teaching of “pure” chemistry is that we need to do justice to the different kinds of understanding that the subject involves. In par...
