Purification of americium chloride solutions by mercury cathode electrolysis /

A process has been developed for the removal of chromium, copper, iron, manganese, nickel, lead, tin, and zinc impurities from an acid aqueous solution of americium chloride using a mercury cathode cell operating at 5-10 amperes and 16-18 volts. The americium is not affected. The process may also be used to remove other impurity elements.
