Abstract
A Tc-99m generator has been prepared using an inorganic polymer adsorb ent newly developed for low specific activity Mo-99. The adsorbent (PZ C) was synthesized from zirconium chloride and isopropyl alcohol on he ating. To adsorb Mo-99, PZC was added to the solution of Mo-99 prepare d from neutron-irradiated natural MoO3. The amount of Mo-99 (Mo) adsor bed to PZC reached about 200 mg/g-PZC. Technetium-99m was eluted with a small volume of saline solution in the yield of about 80%. The break through of Mo-99 was less than 0.5% in good conditions. (C) 1997 Elsev ier Science Ltd.
