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

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 distribution as a function of varying experimental conditions. With the aid of computers apparent k's were calculated and the experimental data compared with those predicted from various mathematical models. (Author).
