The Chemistry of Weighable Amounts of Polonium and Protactinium

Abstract: Some of the problems involved in chemical studies with polonium (138.4 day 210 Po) and the much less intensely radioactive protactinium (32,600 yr. 231 Pa) are discussed and the handling of these two α-active isotopes is briefly described. The chemistry of polonium and protactinium, particularly the halides and nitrates, is reviewed in the light of their positions in the Periodic Table.

“…The large specific activity of 231 Pa isotope, equal to 10 6 alpha decays min -1 mg -1 of element (Bagnall, 1966a) allows the use of this method for the determination of submicrogram amounts of protactinium after its isolation in the radiochemically pure state.…”

“…The maximum amount of protactinium considered not harmful after absorption by an organism is 0.03 mCi. It corresponds to 0.5 mg 231 Pa. Protactinium-231, contained in the air as an aerosol, is 2.5 Â 10 8 -fold more toxic than hydrocyanic acid at the same concentrations (Bagnall, 1966a). Therefore all operations with weighable amounts of 231 Pa are carried out in special isolated boxes.…”
