Separation of 90Nb from bulk yttrium target using two food derived alkaloids

Synergistic Aqueous Biphasic Separation of No‐Carrier‐Added 71,72As from a Gallium Oxide Target Using Green Tea Polyphenols

“…In our next attempt, caffeine was used to separate NCA 90 Nb from bulk yttrium where caffeine extracted ~55 % of 90 Nb having a slight contamination from bulk yttrium. [36] An increase in separation factor was observed in this case. The present paper proposes synergistic aqueous biphasic separation (SABS) of 71,72 As from gallium oxide target wherein catechins has been used as synergistic reagent in aqueous biphasic separation (ABS) and a rewarding result has been obtained with high separation factors of the order of 10 2 to 10 3 , comparable with classical organic reagents.…”
