Retention profile and chromatographic separation of Y3+ from Sr2+ by Chelex-100 (cation ion exchanger) physically immobilized with ammonium ion

Y 3+ retention from aqueous media onto Chelex-100 sorbent impregnated with ammonium nitrate was studied. Y 3+ uptake was rapid, reached maximum within 40 min and followed pseudo first order equation. Modified Chelex100 sorbent was successfully packed in column for separation of 90 Y from its parent...

Description
Summary:Y 3+ retention from aqueous media onto Chelex-100 sorbent impregnated with ammonium nitrate was studied. Y 3+ uptake was rapid, reached maximum within 40 min and followed pseudo first order equation. Modified Chelex100 sorbent was successfully packed in column for separation of 90 Y from its parent 90 Sr. The method was based upon retention of Y 3+ at pH 1.0 onto sorbent packed column in aqueous diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA). Y 3+ species were recovered with HNO 3 and analyzed. The radiochemical and radionuclide purity of 90 Y in the eluate were ascertained. The method is low cost and provides rapid approach for separation of Y 3+ from Sr 2+ .
