Experimental Study Of Zone Refining Of The Binary System Triphenyl Antimony Biphenyl

The results of an experimental study of zone refining of the binary system triphenyl antimony-biphenyl are presented. 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 distribution as a function of varying experimental conditions. With the aid of computers (IBM 7090 and IBM 7044) apparent (distribution coefficients) were calculated and the experimental data compared with those predicted from various mathematical models.
