Abstract

No-carrier-added 93mMo radionuclide is a promising candidate in the field of radiopharmaceuticals. In the present investigation 93mMo was produced by 7Li irradiation of natural Y-foil target following the reaction natY(7Li,3n)93mMo and was separated from the bulk Y target using iron-doped calcium alginate (Fe-CA) hydrogel beads. High separation factor (S Mo/Y = 4.38 × 102) was obtained. The isotopically pure 93mMo could also be embedded in Fe-CA beads, which might act as smart material for administration to human body.
