Abstract

A radiochemical process is reported for the production of 103Pd from Ag targets for use in brachytherapy. The procedure, which is based on anion exchange chromatography, separates Pd from a large amount of target material (16 g Ag), as well as Rh radioisotopes (mainly 101Rh and 100Rh), which are produced from decays of their Pd parents. The AG MP-1 anion exchange resin was used for the process. For elution of Rh and Ag, 3M nitric acid solution was used and 5% ammonia solution was used to elute the Pd. The average recovery of Pd was 97.4%. An elution curve for Pd was set up and a panel for the radiochemistry designed and installed in a hot cell.
