Abstract
Heavy ion activation of natural Tm2O3 with 90 MeV O-16 beam results in the formation of carrier-free short-lived Ir-181 and Os-181 which ultimately de cay out to Re-181 in the matrix. The liquid cation exchanger. HDEHP, has ef fectively been utilized as an extractant for quantitative separation of bul k thulium target matrix from carrier-free rhenium radionuclide.
