Abstract:
111In was prepared on the CS-30 cyclotron in Sichuan University via nuclear reaction
NatCd(p,
xn)
111In with natural cadmium target by electro-deposition method. The procedures of dissolution and radiochemical separation of the irradiated cadmium target were investigated. The results indicate that the
111In of 25.28 MBq/(μA•h) can be obtained using the proton of 26 MeV bombarded on the natural cadmium target, with radiochemical separation of Cu
2+, Cd
2+, Zn
2+, and In by adopted CL-P204 resin. The radionuclide purity of
111In produced by natural Cd is more than 99%. The total chemical impurity of Cu
2+, Cd
2+, and Zn
2+ is less than 8.0 mg/L.
