Radiochemical separation of 109Cd from a silver target

Radiochemistry

“…This problem is compounded by the need [48][49][50] for pure molybdenum-99, a requirement not easily met when this isotope is extracted from fission products. New radiochemical procedures have been proposed for the separation of rhodium-105 from a palladium target 51 and of cadmium-109 from a silver 52 target. An aluminium vanadate ion exchanger has proved useful 53 in separating daughter isotopes, indium-115m and barium-137m from their parents (cadmium-115 and caesium-137, respectively).…”

Separation of no-carrier-added 111In and 109Cd from α-particle induced Ag target using glass wool surface

“…Earlier various separation methods like ion exchange chromatography, liquid-liquid extraction (LLX) using di-(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (HDEHP) as liquid cation exchanger and tricaprylmethylammonium chloride (Aliquat-336), trioctylamine (TOA) as liquid anion exchangers, precipitation, dry thermo-chromatography, etc., were used to separate either no-carrier-added indium or cadmium radionuclides from bulk Ag target [8,15,21,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. Recently, we developed LLX technique using hydrophobic room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate with HNO 3 and an aqueous biphasic system (ABS) based on the use of RTIL 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride with kosmotropic salt K 2 HPO 4 for the separation of NCA 109 Cd from natural Ag target [39,40].…”

Targetry and radiochemistry for no-carrier-added production of 109Cd

“…Regarding chemical separation, Strelow et al [25], Ardaneh et al [26] and Paleodimopoulos and Paradellis [22] have used anion exchange resin for separation. Anion exchange is more useful with cadmium than cation exchange, because cadmium forms many stable anionic complexes, the amount of reagent in the eluting medium is small and high ionic strength is an advantage of these resins [27].…”
