Abstract:

This first semiannual technical report describes our progress on developing an ion exchange - reactive gas purification scheme for potassium bromide, strontium fluoride and barium fluoride. Measurements of the removal fraction of alkali ion impurity as a function of number of resin bed volumes and KBr concentration are given for the ion exchange resin Chelex 100. The design of a contamination-free reactive gas seal and the reactive gas manifold are discussed.
