MoO4 2- ions were sorbed in calcined hydrotalcite contained in a column. It was found that 98% of 99mTc formed by 99Mo decay was eluted through the column in the form of pertechnetate. The content of radionuclides was determined by γ-spectrometry, and natural molybdenum was measured by neutron activation analysis. Solids were characterized by thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, and infrared spectroscopy. Through batch experiments, the hydrotalcite capacity toward molybdate ions (1.12 × 10-3 M) was found to be 3.2 mequiv g-1. It was found that the high molybdate adsorbing capacity of calcined hydrotalcite could be utilized in designing a 99mTc generator made with low specific activity 99Mo-molybdate samples.
