Abstract

In order to produce routinely carrier-free96Tc and111In, their simultaneous production was examined by means of the stacked foil method. Both niobium and silver foils were arranged on the target holder so as the desired nuclear reactions took place effectively. Simultaneous irradiation of the target with 35 MeV α-particles produced effectively111In and96Tc by the109Ag(α, 2n)111In and93Nb(α, n)96Tc reactions, respectively. Sufficient amounts of radioactivities for tracer uses are obtained by the irradiation at 5 μA current for 2 hrs. In addition, carrier-free96TcO4 − in a perchloric acid solution could be prepared by the combined use of precipitation and anion-exchange methods. Separation of carrier-free111In from the silver matrix was done by means of solvent extraction using acetylacetone as a chelating agent.
