Abstract

Solutions of carrier-free iod.ate-131 were prepared by electrolytic oxidation of iodide-131 in 0.01 M sodium bicarbonate solution at a graphite anode. The minimum anode potential necessary to carry out the oxidation was +0.79 volt vs. S. C.E.; above this minimum potential the rate of the oxidation increased as the anode potential was increased. The rate of the oxidation, expressed in terms of the iodide fraction, was relatively independent of' the total initial iodide concentration indicating that the reaction followed the first order rate law over the concentration range studied (carrier-free to io-4 M iodide). Carrier-free idoate-131 solutions containing little extraneous material can be conveniently prepared in good yield using this method.
