Abstract

The uptake behavior of 73As and 75Se was studied in HCl and HNO3-H2O2 solutions on commercial extraction chromatography resins (TEVA, TRU, DGA, and Pb resin). There was no uptake of 73As or 75Se from HNO3 media. From HCl, there was 75Se uptake at high concentrations on all the resins and no uptake of 73As. Separations of 75Se and 73As on these resins have high yields and high radiopurity for 73As, but limited recovery of 75Se. TRU and TEVA resin may have potential for use in isotope generators as 75Se can be retained for at least 26 days with repeated elutions.
