K. Banerjee et al., Experimental simulation on separation of alpha-particle induced rhenium isotopes from bulk tantalum, J RAD NUCL, 243(3), 2000, pp. 821-823
Trace level tantalum and rhenium, Ta-182 and Re-186,Re-188, have been separ
ated with liquid anion exchanger, TOA from KNO3 medium. The feasibility of
the separation process has also been verified for the separation of trace l
evel rhenium from bulk or macro quantity of tantalum. The developed radioch
emical scheme will be useful for the separation of carrier-free rhenium rad
ionuclides produced in alpha-particle activated matrix target.
