Pure americium metal is a crucial component for the fabrication of transmutation fuels. Unfortunately, americium in pure metal form is not available; however, a number of mixed metals and mixed oxides that include americium are available. In this manuscript a method is described to obtain high purity americium metal from a mixture of americium and neptunium metals with lead impurity via distillation.

通过蒸馏分离高纯度a金属

纯a金属是制造trans变燃料的关键成分。不幸的是，没有纯金属形式的is。但是，可以使用多种混合金属和包括a的混合氧化物。在该手稿中，描述了一种通过蒸馏从from和n金属与铅杂质的混合物中获得高纯度a金属的方法。
