Description

In present work, 3-step separation scheme using ion-exchange chromatography of 111In purification is performed. 1 g of Sb target was irradiated with 600 MeV protons at 1 µA current for 3 hours at the Phasotron facility (DNLP JINR). The activity of desired radionuclide at EOB equaled 53 MBq//µAh. The separation factor at each step was estimated to be 10^3. Along with 111In purification, 119mTe/117mSn separation is presented. 111In (T1/2= 2.8 d) is one of the most used radionuclides in diagnostics, also one of the most suitable isotopes for γγ-Perturbed Angular Correlation (PAC) measurements due to its parameters: t1/2 = 85 ns, I= +5/2, Q= +0.68, µ= -0.7656, cascade 171-245 keV [1]. γγ-PAC is a unique method in investigation of the local environment of the probe in liquids especially with a chelator in the system [2]. Moreover, required concentration of the probe is up to 10^(-12) mol/l which makes this technique very useful for measuring the precursors of the radiopharmaceuticals being used in Nuclear Medicine [3].
