A new method of (111) In separation from a silver target irradiated with 30
MeV alpha -particles is described. The (111) In isolation from Ag and Cd i
s based on its co-precipitation with La(OH)(3). The (111) In separation fro
m La(III) has been performed by the method of ion-exchange chromatography.
A multi-stage purification technique was developed that allows the producti
on of (111) In radiochemicals in which the part of impurities of di-, tri-v
alent metal atoms is negligible. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights
