Title: USE OF AN ELECTRIC FIELD TO SEPARATE THE RECOIL PRODUCTS OF (n,$gamma$) REACTIONS IN BROMINE AND IODINE
Abstract: A study was made to determine the effects of the chemical nature of an irradiated liquid, the polarity of the collecting electrode, and isotopic effects on the separation by an electric field of the (n, gamma ) recoil products. The studies were made on C/sub 6/H/sub 5/Br, C/sub 2/H/sub 5/I/, and on iodine dissolved in CCl/sub 4/ or C/sub 6/H/sub 6/. After irradiation an electric current was applied between two silver electrodes placed in the liquid for 15 min. The activity deposited on the electrodes were measured. The results are tabulated and lead to the following conclusions. In phenyl bromide and ethyl iodine almost 30% of the total activity produced can be separated. The yieid on the anode, in the case of bromine is 2 to 4 times that on the cathode. No activity was observed on the electrodes after the irradiation of iodine dissolved in CCl/sub 4/ or C/sub 6/H/sub 6/. Isotopic effects were observed for bromine. The possible secondary reactions from the irradiation are discussed. (J.S.R.)
