Abstract

This paper reports the extraction and separation of no-carrier-added (NCA) 195,195m,197mHg radioisotopes produced in 20 MeV 1H irradiated Au target. The extraction studies were carried out from HNO3 media by solid–liquid extraction using TK200 and DGA-N resins based on trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) and N,N,N,N-tetra-n-octyldiglycolamide (TODGA) respectively. TK200 resin was found to be the superior extractant for separation of NCA Hg radionuclides from 3 M HNO3 with a separation factor of 3.2 × 105.
