Abstract

A method is discussed for separating99mTc from99Mo by dissolution and reprecipitation of CaMoO4 containing99Mo-99mTc.99mTc can be obtained successfully with a yield of about 80% and with a radionuclidic purity as high as over 99.7%. On the other hand, by agitating Ca99 MoO4 solid with 0.9% NaCl aqueous solution,99mTc can directly be obtained with a yield of about 30% without any impurities.
