1. Actinium is separated from uranium ores residues, after the extraction of uranium radium and polonium; are used classical methods in chemistry but the process is long and difficult.

2. Actinium isotopes can be also artificially prepared by the intermediate of nuclear reactions as:

How do you get pure actinium?

From Wikipedia "Actinium is found in trace amounts in uranium ore, but more commonly is made in milligram amounts by the neutron irradiation of 226Ra in a nuclear reactor. Actinium metal has been prepared by the reduction of actinium fluoride with lithium vapor at about 1100 to 1300°C."


What is the cost of actinium by 100g?

The cost of actinium can vary depending on the supplier and market conditions. As of now, the price of actinium is around $1,000-$5,000 per gram. Therefore, 100g of actinium would cost approximately $100,000-$500,000.

Where can actinium be found?

Actinium was discovered in residues from the uranium and radium extraction from ores. The concentration of Ac is extremely low. But actinium can be prepared and artificially, as a result of nuclear reactions. Andre Louis Debierne (France) discovered actinium in 1899. Friedrich Oskar Giesel (Germany) independently discovered it in 1902 but Debierne is largely credited with the discovery.
