D. Nayak et al., Separation of no-carrier added Gd-147,Gd-149 and Eu-147 produced in 70 MeVB-11 irradiated praseodymium foil target, RADIOCH ACT, 87(3-4), 1999, pp. 93-96
Heavy ion activation of natural praseodymium foil with 70 MeV B-11(5+) resu
lts in the formation of no-carrier added gadolinium isotopes,Gd-147,Gd-149,
and their corresponding decay products, (EU)-E-147, in the matrix. The no-
carrier added gadolinium and europium radionuclides have been separated fro
m the bulk target matrix praseodymium by employing liquid-liquid extraction
method using HDEHP as liquid cation exchanger.
