Experimental Study of Zone Refining of the Binary Systems Triphenyl Antimony-Naphthalene

摘要

An experimental study on the zone refining of the binary system triphenyl antimony—naphthalene is described. The isotope Sb124, which is a strong gamma emitter, was employed as a tracer;this allowed a rapid in situ nondestructive analysis, closely spaced experimental points, and the opportunity to study distri¬bution as a function of varying experimental conditions. With the aid of computers (IBM 7090 and IBM 7044) apparent k's were calculated and the experimental data compared with those predicted from various mathematical models.
