Zusammenfassung BesumeExperiments on the adsorption and Sedimentation of yttrium solutions have been carried out with solutions containing minimal suspended matter. It has been shown that such clean solutions of 'carrierfree' yttrium can be kept in polystyrene vessels, even at pH = 8 or more, with no Sedimentation taking place, and only a small amount of adsorption on to the vessel walls. It has also been shown that addition of 'Analar' water to such solutions converts the yttrium to a centrifugable form. It is suggested that the 'radiocoUoidal' properties of yttrium reported in the literature are due to ion exchange adsorption of yttrium ions on to suspended particulate matter and on to surfaces. Versuche über Adsorption und Sedimentation von gelöstem Yttrium wurden in Lösungen ausgeführt, die nur minimale Mengen suspendierten Materials enthalten. Es zeigte sich, daß solche reinen Lösungen "trägerfreien" Yttriums in Polystyrolgefäßen sogar bei pH 8 und mehr aufbewahrt werden können, wobei keine Sedimentation und nur wenig Adsorption an den Gefäßwänden auftritt. Bei Zusatz von "Analar"-Wasser wird das Yttrium zentrifugierbar. Wir glauben, daß die in der Literatur beschriebenen ,,radiokolloidalen" Eigenschaften des Yttriums von einer Austauschadsorption der Yttriumionen an suspendierte Partikelchen und an Oberflächen herrühren.Nous avons exp6riment6 sur l'adsorption et la Sedimentation d'yttrium dans des solutions ne contenant que des quantit^s minimales de matiere en suspension. Oes solutions pures d'yttrium sans entrameur peuvent etre conserv^es dans des r6cipients en polystyrene, meme ä pH 8 et au-dessus, sans Sedimentation et seulement une faible adsorption sur les parois. Par addition d'eau «Analar» l'yttrium prend une forme centrifugeable. Nous proposons d'expliquer les propriet^s radio-colloidales decrites dans la litterature par une absorption des ions d'yttrium par 6change sur les particules en suspension et les surfaces.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
