Abstract

An effective and simple process for the separation of ¹⁷⁷Lu from neutron-irradiated Yb targets was developed. Irradiated Yb target was dissolved in H₂SO₄ solution and after reduction with sodium amalgam Yb was precipitated in the form of YbSO₄. From 50 mg of Yb irradiated target only 1 mg Yb remains in solution after precipitation and separation of YbSO₄. The overall recovery of ¹⁷⁷Lu is estimated at 73%. Further efficient chromatographic separation of carrier-free ¹⁷⁷Lu from 1 mg of Yb is relatively easy and is described in several papers.
