Abstract
Heavy ion activation of natural cobalt foil with 52 MeV B-11(4+) and 73 MeV C-12(6+) results in the formation of carrier-free Ge-66,Ge-67 and As-66,As -67 radionuclides, respectively, along with their corresponding decay produ cts, Ga-66,Ga-67 in the matrix. The carrier free gallium radionuclides have been separated from the bulk target matrix cobalt by employing liquid-liqu id extraction method using TOA as liquid anion exchanger.
