Abstract:
Production of 64Cu via the proton irradiation of 64Ni, electrodeposited on a suitable backing substrate, remains the most common method to produce this emerging radionuclide. Some unforeseen cases arise when the electrodeposition does not work and the electrolytic solution needs to be reprocessed, but the presence of salt buffers makes it difficult to recover the nickel to prepare a fresh solution. The aim of this work was to develop a simple and efficient method to recover 64Ni from bath solutions.

Electrolytes: van't Hoff Factor
The colligative properties of a solution depend only on the number, not on the identity, of solute species dissolved. The concentration terms in the equations for various colligative properties (freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, osmotic pressure) pertain to all solute species present in the solution. Nonelectrolytes dissolve physically without dissociation or any other accompanying process. Each molecule that dissolves yields one...
