Rapid radiochemical separation of selenium.
A rapid separation of selenium based on the extraction of Se(IV) from 4M hydrobromic acid into benzene containing 1 % of phenol, is described. Recoveries of 99 % are achieved in less than 5 min. Oxidizing and reducing agents interfere. The separation is highly selective for selenium.
