Abstract
A new chemical method based in two separation steps was developed to isolate235Np from uranium targets irradiated with charged particles. Neptunium and plutonium are separated from uranium and most of the fission products by ion exchange. Then, neptunium is isolated from plutonium and remaining contaminants by extraction chromatography with tributyl phosphate in hydrochloric acid solution. High decontamination was achieved.
