Abstract

Simultaneous production of carrier free89Zr and90,91m,92mNb through the (α, pxn) and (α,xn) nuclear reactions has been performed by α-particle activation of Y2O3 target. The sequential separation of the produced radioisotopes from the bulk target matrix has been achieved through LLX using TOA as a liquid anion exchanger. Formation of the carrier free radionuclides in the target matrix and their purity in different stages of separation have been verified by γ-ray spectrometry.
