Production of 105Rh Using Electron Accelerators and a New Method for Its Recovery from Irradiated Targets
摘要
Abstract
105Rh is one of the promising beta-emitters for therapeutic purposes in nuclear medicine, but its use is limited, due to in part its low availability, which dictates the search for new effective ways to produce it. In this work, the radionuclide composition of a PdCl2 target irradiated by bremsstrahlung photons is determined and a method is proposed for recovery carrier free 105Rh from it using a commercial DGA sorbent, which ensures a high degree of purification of the target isotope. In future, the studies carried out may contribute to the practical application of 105Rh to nuclear medicine.
