A simple and convenient method for production of 89Zr with high purity

A simple and convenient method for radiochemical separation 89Zr with no harmful substance was explored. The separated 89Zr was found to be [89Zr]Zr-chloride, and the recovery of the radioactivity was 85%±3% with high radionuclidic purity (99.99%). The yields of 89Zr via the reaction of (p, n) or (d...

Description
Summary:A simple and convenient method for radiochemical separation 89Zr with no harmful substance was explored. The separated 89Zr was found to be [89Zr]Zr-chloride, and the recovery of the radioactivity was 85%±3% with high radionuclidic purity (99.99%). The yields of 89Zr via the reaction of (p, n) or (d, 2n) on Y target were also evaluated on CS-30 cyclotron, indicating the latter was more favorable for the production of 89Zr with a yield of 58±4 MBq/μA·h. •A simple and convenient method was developed to separate 89Zr by use of Dowex1×8.•No radioactive impurities presented in the initial dissolved solution with 1mol/L HCl.•High purity 89Zr with no harmful substance and better recorvery was be obtained.•Comparison was conducted for producing 89Zr via reaction (p, n) and (d, 2n).
