Wait wait, RADIOTOXIC titanium TETRACHLORIDE? TiCl4 is already terrifying on its own LOL 1.1MeV is pretty spicy as well, and I'm honestly surprised the vial read "only" 1mSv/h😊

@@SimonsNuclearchemistry Nope, I don't have any use in mind. I find nuclear chemistry interesting as an outsider, but my own work with ionizing radiation is on the microanalysis / particle beam side of things (SEM/TEM/FIB imaging, EDS/WDS X-ray spectra, bremsstrahlung from beam-sample interactions, etc) rather than working with radioisotopes.

@@SimonsNuclearchemistry I forgotten a lot of chemistry since I changed my major 30 years ago, but do you think formaldehyde would set this substance so it would be more chemical resistant for applications like I mentioned? Or does that require an amino group , I don't remember... If it does require an amino group for a formaldehyde to bind, Do you think mixing it with chiton would work? That is , to make a more chemical resistant exchange membrane at home? If you think that's a dead end do you have any knowledgeable way I could simply make a exchange membrane without costing much money?

Most likely they also do. 2 ways to get Americium: Recycle spend nuclear fuel (with Curium) or milk Pu-241 cow (without curium). Having a Pu-241 cow is damn expensive. And the fact that even a radionuclide meant for a nuclear lab isn't even made from a Pu-241 cow but from spend fuel... lets me suggest these cheap smoke detectors are made the same way.

A quick question Simon, back in the 70's~80's when CFC production was at its highest and there was a noticeable hole in the ozone layer as a result, is it possible that muon capture production of Cl 36 would leave a detectable layer on earth as a result of all the excess Cl 35 that would have been in the mid to upper atmosphere? I'm not sure if atmospheric Cl falls back to earth though or whether it wanders off into space.
@SimonsNuclearchemistry 11 күн бұрын
Atmospheric Cl-36 is the Meteoric Cl-36 that I meantioned that is usually eched away with the HF. So I doubt there will be much data about it as its usually waste. But thats a question for the geo people^^
