Radiochemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

A novel inorganic ion exchanger, aluminum tungstate, was prepared and characterized by spectroscopic tools and elemental analysis. The compound is resistant to heat and radiation and is stable in diverse chemical environments. This material exhibits an excellent adsorption of parent-daughter 137Cs-137mBa. The newly prepared crystalline inorganic ion exchanger was employed for separation of the carrier-free 137mBa from 137Cs using 0.0426 M ascorbic acid solution as eluting agent. Trend in elution is encouraging to apply the system as radionuclide generator.
