Problems solved by technology

Since organic ion exchange resins and extractants are not resistant to strong irradiation of strontium-90 and yttrium-90, they cannot support strontium-90-yttrium-90 for a long time, and this is precisely from strontium-90-yttrium-90 Necessary for the separation of yttrium in a balanced system; secondly, the above methods are two-step methods of separation first and then loading, and the operation steps are relatively complicated

Abstract

The present invention uses ammonium sulfate solution and radionuclide containing Sr-90 and Y-90 as electrolytic base liquor, uses platinum wire or stainless steel as cathode, and adopts electrolysis method to make trivalent Y be reduced and depositied on the electrode to separate out from Sr-90 in the solution. Said method can avoid the instability of extractant and organic ion exchange resin due to strong radionucleide Sr-90 and Y-90, can implement separation and loading processes by one-step operation, it can be made into medical Y-90 solution, also can be firmly attached to the stainless steel piece or cardiovascular stainless steel supporting frame, and can be used for clinical therapy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of isotope separation and applied nuclear electrochemistry, and relates to a process for separating yttrium-90 from a strontium-90-yttrium-90 equilibrium system by using an electrodeposition method. technical background [0002] Strontium-90 and its daughter yttrium-90 are both β-radioactive nuclides, which can be used in radiotherapy, such as the prevention of restenosis after coronary angioplasty or the treatment of malignant tumors. The half-life of strontium-90 is 28.7 years, and the fractions that enter the vital organs of the human body after inhalation or ingestion are 0.28 and 0.21 respectively, which belong to the highly toxic group of radionuclides. The half-life of yttrium-90 is 64 hours, and the fractions that enter the vital organs of the human body after inhalation or ingestion are 0.19 and 7.5E-5 respectively, belonging to the poisoning group. It can be seen that it is safer to use yttrium-90 without s...
