Osaka University, Toyonaka, Osaka 560, Japan (Received November 4, 1996) We studied the solvent extraction behavior of astatine and found the anomalous behavior of this element similar to radioiodine. Astatine was extracted into CS2 from acidic solution over a wide range of carrier iodine concentration. The distribution ratios of astatine were determined by measuring the y-ray from 210 At with a NaI(TI) detector. A drastic change was observed around at 10-.4 molA as in the case of 131 I. This tendency is well explained by the kinematics of the chemical reactions concerned. Introduction Experimental We have studied the chemical properties of astatine, Astatine was produced by the 2~ 21~At reaction the heaviest element of halogens. Previously we reported with the AVF cyclotron at the Research Center of Nuclear the anomalous boiling point of this element. I In the Physics, Osaka University. After irradiation the bismuth present work we studied the solvent extraction behavior target was dissolved
