Polonium may be purified by various processes. Such purification methods include precipitation of polonium as sulfide and then decomposing the sulfide at elevated temperatures spontaneous decomposition of polonium onto a nickel or copper surface and electrolysis of nitric acid solutions of polonium-bismuth mixture. In electrolytic purification polonium is electrodeposited onto a platinum, gold, nickel, or carbon electrode.

In the final purification, polonium is either dissolved in nitric acid and clectrodeposited onto platinum, or, better, gold (6, 25) the polonium is sublimed in a vacuum from the support metal or dissolved off the latter in dilute hydrochloric acid and precipitated as the monosulfide. Either hydrogen sulfide itself or the sulfide ion produced by the hydrolysis of thioacetamide may be used. The monosulfide is decomposed by heating under vacuum and the pure metal sublimed (14). 

There have been some unsuccessful attempts to prepare a volatile hexafluoride from fluorine and polonium-210 26, 104), but recently such a fluoride has been prepared in this way from polonium-208 plated on platinum 132). The product appears to be stable while in the vapor phase, but on cooling a nonvolatile compound is formed, probably polonium tetrafluoride resulting from radiation decomposition of the hexafluoride. Analytical data are not recorded for any polonium fluoride, largely owing to the difficulty of determining fluoride ion accurately at the microgram level.
