Abstract:
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.
