title: Resolution concept for separation of curium from californium by ion-exchange chromatography.
abstract: Different factors affecting separation of the tervalent actinides curium and californium by ion-exchange chromatography are discussed in the light of the resolution factor. The fact that resolution is inversely proportional to resin particle diameter and directly proportional to column length has been confirmed experimentally. The effects influencing resolution due to changes in flow-rate of the mobile phase used are dependent on resin particle diameter. Changes in temperature affect a number of variables influencing resolution.
