Article Description

The aim of this work was to develop a method for purification of the spent Mo–Tc generator free from non-isotopic impurities like Nb, Y, Zr and recovery of Tc using a Sephadex column and MEK solvent extraction technique, respectively. This study was done by performing simulation experiment with Mo(n,γ)Mo solution doped with the radiotracers of the above said non-isotopic impurities. There was respective adsorption of non-isotopic impurities of Nb, Zr and Y on Sephadex column (99.99%; n = 3) and extraction Tc in MEK. The extraction efficiency of pure Tc (radionuclidic purity: 99.99%, n = 3) from various Mo solution was 97% (n = 3).
