摘要

The separation of actinium (228Ac) from radium (223,228Ra) on cation exchange resin with a diethylenetriaminpentaacetic acid-lactate buffer solution is demonstrated with series of columns. High yield, high radiopurity (~ 100%) separations of Ac from Ra are feasible with small columns in biologically compatible conditions and pHs. As Ac is eluted before Ra on these columns, further studies were performed to determine if this separation system could be applied to Ra/Ac isotope generators, but these were not successful. The separations presented in this work may be relevant for radiopharmaceutical purifications of 225Ac which is typically obtained from its 225Ra parent isotope.
