Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of separation and preparation of actinide isotopes, and specifically relates to a double-column circulation preparation method. 239 Np tracer device and method. Background Art

[0002] 239 Np has a half-life of 2.35 days and is a short-lived γ-radionuclide. It is often used to identify long-lived α-radionuclides in the actinide series in environmental samples. 237 Np (half-life 2.14×10 6 It can be produced in two ways: the first method uses 238 U neutron activation reaction produces 239 U (half-life 23.5 minutes), 239 U will soon be available through beta - Decay Generation 239 Np, this method not only requires the use of expensive neutron source irradiation equipment, but also requires the solution of a large number of target nuclei. 238 U, fission products and 239 The separation of Np is not commonly used in laboratories. The second method is the parent nuclide 243 Am (half-life 7370 years) generates daughters through its own α decay 239 Np. Due to the parent nuclide 243 The half-life of Am is much longer than that of daughter nuclides 239 Np, and therefore undergoes a certain daughter nucleus half-life, 243 Am can generate a certain activity 239 Np can be separated and extracted from the mother nuclide. This method is a "cow milking" preparation method and is also commonly used in laboratories. 239 Np tracer preparation method.

[0003] Extraction chromatography is often used because it combines the high selectivity of solvent extraction with the high efficiency of chromatographic separation. 239 Preparation of Np tracer. 239 Npfrom 243 Am. J Radioanal Nucl Chem. 2005, 266 (1): 71-74) reported that based on the principle of ferrous aminosulfonate reduction, the tetravalent neptunium and trivalent americium were separated by using Aliquat-336 silica gel column. However, the neptunium was not only contaminated with 0.5% americium, but also the recovered 243The Am mother liquor contains impurities such as Fe ions introduced during the reduction process, and additional steps are required to remove these interfering substances before the next step can be carried out. 239 Np preparation is very inconvenient. Patent (ZL 201310626323.7 Shi Yanmei et al. 239 The method reported in the rapid preparation of Np tracer is relatively simple, but the recovered 243 Am mother liquid medium and next 239 The medium required for the column of Np preparation is inconsistent, and lengthy transfer steps such as evaporation, conversion, and re-dissolution are required before it can be used for the next preparation, which inevitably causes 243 The loss of Am, and this method does not control the valence state of neptunium, making it difficult to ensure 239 Stability and reproducibility of Np tracer recoveries.

[0004] because 239 Np has a short half-life, and each preparation 239 The Np tracer decays quickly. Therefore, frequent “milking” is required to meet the needs of routine, multi-batch sample preparation. 237 This requires that the process implementation of both the first preparation and the subsequent multiple preparations should be simpler and easier, and both the parent and daughter products should have sufficiently high purity and recovery rate.
