Production and separation of non-carrier-added 86Y from enriched 86Sr targets

Production of Y-86 and other radiometals for research purposes using a solution target system

“…The purified 86 Y solution contained also higher amounts of Sr (6.4 ± 2.3 ppm). This is still in the lower range of the amounts we found reported for other separation methods, which stretched between 0.8 and 64 ppm Sr [30,33].…”

“…The reason for the high yttrium content is due to the use of the same liquid target for the production of 89 Zr (Y starting material) and 86 Y, which has been discussed in paragraph 4.1.5. Specific activities obtained by the titration method for solid-target production of 86 Y range from 0.74 -96 GBq/µmol [30][31][32]. The purified 86 Y solution contained also higher amounts of Sr (6.4 ± 2.3 ppm).…”

Cyclotron production of high purity 44m,44 Sc with deuterons from 44 CaCO 3 targets

“…Such viable separation uses precipitation and filtration [30]. This approach takes advantage of the insolubility of Sc(OH) 3 either as a precipitate or coprecipitate, and is similar to a technique developed for purifying yttrium from strontium [31,32].…”

Tailoring medium energy proton beam to induce low energy nuclear reactions in 86SrCl2 for production of PET radioisotope 86Y

“…The commercial availability of this isotope is limited. The chemical separation of 86 Y from 86 Sr targets has been a subject of quite a few studies each of those adressed facility specific applications and limitations (Aardaneh et al, 2006;Avila-Rodriguez et al, 2008;Finn et al, 1999;Garmestani et al, 2002;Lukic et al, 2009;Park et al, 2004;Reischl et al, 2002;Rosch et al, 1993b;Sadeghi et al, 2010;van der Meulen et al, 2009). Since we also have reported the separation of Y from strontium chloride targets irradiated at BLIP previously (Medvedev et al, 2011;Medvedev et al, 2012b), this paper is only focused on production yields 2 and radioisotopic purity of the yttrium fraction as a function of energy incident on 86 SrCl 2 .…”
