Aqueous biphasic separation of⁹⁷Ru and^95,96Tc from yttrium

Abstract

An aqueous biphasic separation technique has been developed for the separation of97Ru, a potential candidate radionuclide in nuclear medicine, from its target matrix, yttrium.

Preequilibrium strength in light heavy-ion induced reactions up to 7 MeV/nucleon

“…In this series, a study of complete-incomplete fusion (CF-ICF) and PEQ reactions have been carried out using the 12 C+ 197 Au reaction below 10 MeV/nucleon energy [8]. The study of low energy heavy-ion reactions has also gained our interest to disentangle various nuclear reaction phenomena such as EQ-PEQ and CF-ICF in the past few years [2,3,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33].…”

“…The study of light heavy-ion reactions might be useful to optimize the production window of some medically relevant radionuclides such as 97 Ru (2.83 d), 101m Rh (4.34 d), 103 Pd (16.99 d) and [207][208][209][210] At (1.63-8.1 h), 183 Os (13 h) via EQ and PEQ mechanisms [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. Further, it is worthy of mentioning that heavy-ion reaction data are hardly available below 10 MeV/nucleon in the literature to understand the dynamics of EQ-PEQ processes.…”
