Abstract

A simple method was developed for separation of bromine from metallic selenium. This method enables easy preparation of77Br by proton bombardment of metallic selenium (enriched77Se or78Se). The method consists of heating the metallic selenium with H2O to 300°C in a small autoclave for about three hours. The77Br is distilled from the obtained solution after the addition of H2SO4+K2Cr2O7. The step also removes the arsenic produced together with the selenium.
