Application of AnaLig resin for Tc-99m separation from Mo-100 target irradiated in cyclotron

摘要

The purpose of this study was the development of procedure for molybdenum metallic target processing after its irradiation in a cyclotron. As a first step the dissolution of molybdenum in various physical forms was investigated. The concentrations of NaOH and (NH4)(2)CO3 allowing the highest sorption of Tc on AnaLig Tc-02 resin had been found. Based on these results the sintered irradiated Mo pellet was processed. The radionuclidic and radiochemical purities of separated Tc product were evaluated. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
