Abstract

A simple method for desorption and purification of99Mo from spent99Mo/99mTc generators is described. The alumina column was washed successively with 0.9% saline water, 35% H2O2, and then the99Mo was eluted with 2M NH4OH. Ammonia and residual H2O2 were removed by heating the eluate. Finally,99Mo solution was passed through a 0.2 μm membrane filter to remove precipitated aluminium hydroxide.
