Abstract
The efficiency of removing U and Th from a liquid organic scintillator based on linear alkylbenzene (LAB) by stripping with a 0.02 M aqueous solution of aminomethylenediphosphonic acid and by sorption on aluminum oxide and silica gel was studied. A procedure was developed for purification of scintillation additives (2,5-diphenyloxazole, 2-biphenyl-5-phenyloxazole, p-terphenyl) to remove 40K.
