  • SYSTEM AND METHOD OF RECOVERING A PARENT RADIONUCLIDE FROM A RADIONUCLIDE GENERATOR
    Publication number: 20210350946
    Abstract: A method for recovering a parent radionuclide from a radionuclide generator is disclosed where the parent radionuclide is adsorbed to a stationary phase. The method contains a series of elutions. At least one elution is with an alcohol. At least one elution with water. At least one elution is with a mineral acid other than hydrochloric acid that is paused to soak the stationary phase with the mineral acid.
