[0077] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0078] In related technologies, yttrium is produced using a nuclide generator. 90 When obtaining Y], it is often difficult to obtain yttrium that meets medical standards through a single separation method. 90 Y] solution, therefore, multiple separation columns are usually connected in series to separate yttrium [ 90 Y] Perform multiple separation and extraction. The aforementioned separation column is usually cylindrical, with the two ends of the separation column constructed as the inlet and outlet, respectively. In practical applications, the separation column is arranged vertically with the inlet located above the outlet.

[0079] However, due to the aforementioned structure of the separation column, when multiple separation columns are connected in series, if they are arranged axially sequentially, the overall length of the series-connected separation columns will increase, making it more difficult for the generator to shield the separation columns from radiation and increasing the size of the shielding structure. This is not conducive to reducing the overall volume of the generator, resulting in poor portability and ease of use. If the multiple separation columns are arranged radially, although it is beneficial to reduce the spatial distribution range of the series-connected separation columns, a large height difference will be formed between the liquid inlet end of one of the two adjacent separation columns in the series path and the liquid outlet end of the other. Therefore, when assembling multiple separation columns placed vertically in the shielding container in series, the installation operation of the inter-column connecting pipe is inconvenient. In order to connect the aforementioned inter-column connecting pipe between two adjacent separation columns, the inter-column connecting pipe needs to be bent multiple times, which also increases the risk of bending and blockage of the inter-column connecting pipe.

[0080] In view of this, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a separation column 100 is provided according to a first aspect of the present disclosure, comprising: a sleeve 110, the two ends of the sleeve 110 along its axial direction being a first closed end 1101 and a second closed end 1102, and an inlet 1103 and an outlet 1104 provided on the circumferential side of the sleeve 110; a filter plate 120 disposed inside the sleeve 110, the filter plate 120 dividing the interior of the sleeve 110 into a first inner cavity 1105 and a second inner cavity 1106, the first inner cavity 1105 and the second inner cavity 1106 being arranged along the axial direction of the sleeve 110, the inlet 1103 being connected to the first inner cavity 1105, the first inner cavity 1105 being used to contain an adsorbent, the adsorbent being used to adsorb strontium [ 90 Sr] or yttrium 90 Y]; Overflow pipe 130 is disposed inside sleeve 110. Overflow pipe 130 passes through filter plate 120, and one end of overflow pipe 130 is located in second inner cavity 1106, and the other end is connected to sleeve 110. Overflow pipe 130 connects the second inner cavity 1106 and outlet 1104; wherein, along the axial direction of sleeve 110, inlet 1103 and outlet 1104 are both arranged close to first closed end 1101.

[0081] The separation column 100 provided in this embodiment includes the aforementioned sleeve 110, filter plate 120 and overflow pipe 130. The sleeve 110 has an internal central hole structure. An inlet 1103 and an outlet 1104 are provided on the circumference of the sleeve 110. In practical applications, the inlet 1103 can be used to receive liquid media, and the outlet 1104 can be used to discharge the liquid media from the sleeve 110. The two axial ends of the sleeve 110 are a first closed end 1101 and a second closed end 1102, respectively, meaning both axial ends of the sleeve 110 are closed, thus preventing leakage of liquid media through the axial ends of the sleeve 110 and enhancing the flow guidance effect of the sleeve 110 on the liquid media. The overflow pipe 130 and the filter plate 120 are both disposed inside the sleeve 110. The two ends of the overflow pipe 130 are arranged close to the first closed end 1101 and the second closed end 1102, respectively. The end of the overflow pipe 130 closest to the first closed end 1101 is connected to the sleeve 110. Furthermore, the internal channel of the overflow pipe 130 is connected to the aforementioned outlet 1104. The filter plate 120 is sleeved on the overflow pipe 130, dividing the inside of the sleeve 110 into a first inner cavity 1105 and a second inner cavity 1106. The end of the overflow pipe 130 near the second closed end 1102 is located in the second inner cavity 1106. The aforementioned inlet 1103 is connected to the first inner cavity 1105. Based on this, the overflow pipe 130 can be connected between the aforementioned second inner cavity 1106 and the aforementioned outlet 1104. Correspondingly, when the aforementioned inlet 1103 is connected to a liquid medium, the liquid medium can flow sequentially through the first inner cavity 1105, the filter plate 120, the second inner cavity 1106, and the overflow pipe 130 as it flows towards the aforementioned outlet 1104, and then exits the separation column 100 through the outlet 1104. In practical applications, the aforementioned first inner cavity 1105 is used to contain materials suitable for adsorbing strontium. 90 Sr] or yttrium 90 The adsorbent [Y] is used so that when the liquid medium is introduced into the inlet 1103, the liquid medium flowing into the sleeve 110 easily interacts preferentially with the adsorbent, thereby facilitating the processing of strontium [Y]. 90[Y] Solution acquisition; both the inlet 1103 and the outlet 1104 are arranged along the axial direction of the sleeve 110 close to the aforementioned first closed end 1101, and the first inner cavity 1105 and the second inner cavity 1106 are arranged along the axial direction of the sleeve 110. Thus, when the separation column 100 is placed vertically, the aforementioned first closed end 1101 can serve as the top end of the separation column 100, and the aforementioned second closed end 1102 can serve as the bottom end of the separation column 100. Furthermore, given a fixed axial length of the sleeve 110, the inlet of the sleeve 110... The height difference between outlet 1103 and outlet 1104 can be reduced, which facilitates the radial arrangement of multiple separation columns 100 during series assembly. Connecting pipes between adjacent separation columns 100 along the series path reduces the degree and number of bends in the connecting pipes, lowering the risk of blockage. This improves the convenience of series assembly of multiple separation columns 100 while reducing the spatial distribution range of the connected columns, thus providing better conditions for strontium […]. 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 The miniaturization and portability of the Y] generator provide favorable conditions.

[0082] It is understood that the series assembly of the aforementioned multiple separation columns 100 refers to the sequential connection of the multiple separation columns 100 in the flow path, that is, the multiple separation columns 100 are arranged in sequence according to a certain path. Among two adjacent separation columns 100 on the path, the outlet 1104 of one is connected to the inlet 1103 of the other. The inlet 1103 of the separation column 100 located at the upstream end of the path can be used to receive liquid media output by external equipment, and the outlet 1104 of the separation column 100 located at the downstream end of the path can be used to deliver liquid media to external equipment. Correspondingly, the liquid media received by the separation column 100 located at the upstream end of the path can flow through the multiple separation columns 100 in sequence along the aforementioned path.

[0083] Taking the number of separation columns 100 as an example, such as Figure 13As shown, both separation columns 100 can be disposed inside the shielding assembly 600, which is used to provide radioactive shielding for the separation columns 100. The axes of the two separation columns 100 can be parallel to each other, and the two separation columns 100 can be arranged radially at intervals along the sleeve 110 to reduce the spatial distribution range of the multiple separation columns 100 when arranged. The outlet 1104 of one of the two separation columns 100 can be connected to the inlet 1103 of the other through a connecting pipe (not shown in the figure) to form a series relationship between the two. In practical applications, the second closed ends 1102 of the two separation columns 100 can be arranged approximately flush so that when the two separation columns 100 are placed vertically, their heights are similar, thereby reducing the height difference between the inlet 1103 and outlet 1104 of the two separation columns 100, facilitating the assembly and connection of the aforementioned connecting pipe, and reducing the number of bends in the aforementioned connecting pipe.

[0084] It is understood that the aforementioned liquid medium may be, but is not limited to, an activation solution for activating the aforementioned adsorbent, a loading solution for loading the separation column 100 onto the column, and a solution for eluting or eluting yttrium. 90 One of the rinsing solutions of Y].

[0085] It should be noted that, in practical applications, the aforementioned separation column 100 can be used as a strontium [ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 A component of the Y] generator is used. Exemplarily, the aforementioned first cavity 1105 may be filled with the aforementioned adsorbent, which may be, but is not limited to, an adsorbent capable of selectively adsorbing strontium [ 90 Sr] or yttrium 90 Ion exchange resin adsorbents or macroporous adsorption resin adsorbents, etc., can be used in practical applications. In these applications, the adsorbents can be wet-filled into the first inner cavity 1105, and the filling quantity can be set according to actual needs. After filling the first inner cavity 1105 of the multiple separation columns 100 with adsorbent, the multiple separation columns 100 can be connected in series using connecting pipes. Then, an activation solution is injected into the separation column 100 located upstream of the series path, so that the activation solution flows sequentially through the multiple separation columns 100 in the series path, thereby activating the adsorbents within the multiple separation columns 100. After activating the multiple separation columns 100, an upper column solution can be injected into the separation column 100 located upstream of the series path, so that the upper column solution flows sequentially through the multiple separation columns 100 in the series path. The aforementioned upper column solution can contain yttrium […]. 90 Strontium of Y] 90 Sr] solution, for example, but not limited to strontium[ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90In the equilibrium solution, as the solution flows through each separation column 100, the adsorbent within each separation column 100 can target the strontium in the solution. 90 Sr] or yttrium 90 Y] is adsorbed to allow strontium[ 90 Sr] and yttrium 90 [Y] separation, the column loading process can be carried out in a radioactive shielded container; after the column loading is completed and strontium [Y] is reached at 100 on each separation column. 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 Before the decay equilibrium of yttrium [Y], a rinsing solution can be injected into the separation column 100 located at the upstream end of the series path to rinse the liquid medium in each separation column 100, reduce interfering components in the liquid medium in each separation column 100, and help ensure the subsequent acquisition of yttrium [Y]. 90 The purity of the Y] solution; after the aforementioned rinsing process is completed, multiple separation columns 100 can be loaded with strontium [ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 The shielding assembly 600 of the Y] generator is used to reduce strontium [ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 The radiation effect of the Y] generator on the surrounding environment can then be mitigated, and the aforementioned shielding component 600 can be transferred to the strontium [ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 The assembly line for the Y] generator, and with strontium[ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 Assemble and connect the other components of the Y] generator to complete the strontium [ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 Assembly of the Y] generator. Using the aforementioned strontium [ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 Y] generator acquires yttrium[ 90 When the Y] solution is in use, an eluent solution can be injected into the separation column 100 located at the upstream end of the series path, so that the aforementioned eluent solution removes the yttrium [Y] in each separation column 100. 90 Y] is carried out, and correspondingly, the liquid discharged from the separation column 100 located at the downstream end of the series path can be collected to realize the separation of yttrium[ 90 The acquisition of the Y] solution. Furthermore, based on the method of setting up multiple separation columns 100 in series, it is also possible to perform strontium […] in practical applications. 90 Sr] and yttrium 90 Multiple separations of Y] reduce strontium[ 90 The risk of Sr] leakage increases the amount of yttrium obtained. 90 The purity and quality of the Y solution.

[0086] It is understood that the aforementioned adsorbent can be phosphate ester resin particles, amide-ether resin particles, crown ether resin particles, etc. In practical applications, the aforementioned filter plate 120 is suitable for intercepting the aforementioned adsorbent in the first inner cavity 1105 and is suitable for the flow of liquid media. Accordingly, the filtration accuracy of the aforementioned filter plate 120 can be set in combination with the particle size of the aforementioned adsorbent. The aforementioned filter plate 120 can be, but is not limited to, a sand core sieve plate with specifications of G1-G5.

[0087] It is understood that the aforementioned sleeve 110, overflow tube 130, and connecting tube can be made of acid-resistant and radiation-resistant materials, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the aforementioned connecting tube and the aforementioned separation column 100. For example, the aforementioned connecting tube can be made of PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) or silicone; the aforementioned sleeve 110 and overflow tube 130 can be made of quartz glass, and the aforementioned sleeve 110 and overflow tube 130 can be an integral structure.

[0088] It is understood that the aforementioned arrangement of the inlet 1103 and outlet 1104 close to the first closed end 1101 along the axial direction of the sleeve 110 means that the axial distance between the inlet 1103 and the first closed end 1101 is less than the axial distance between the inlet 1103 and the second closed end 1102, and the axial distance between the outlet 1104 and the first closed end 1101 is less than the axial distance between the outlet 1104 and the second closed end 1102. In practical applications, the inlet 1103 and outlet 1104 can be arranged as close as possible to the first closed end 1101 or opened on the aforementioned first closed end 1101, based on the actual structure of the sleeve 110. This helps to extend the flow path of the liquid medium in the separation column 100, increase the arrangement height of the adsorbent in the sleeve 110, and improve the separation column 100's ability to absorb strontium […]. 90 Sr] and yttrium 90 The separation effect of Y].

[0089] It is understandable that, given a fixed structural dimension of the sleeve 110, and considering the amount of adsorbent filling the first inner cavity 1105, the aforementioned filter plate 120 can be arranged close to the second closed end 1102 to increase the volume of the first inner cavity 1105.

[0090] It is understood that the aforementioned overflow pipe 130 may include a connecting pipe section and a cantilever pipe section, wherein the cantilever pipe section is coaxially arranged with the sleeve 110, the two ends of the connecting pipe section are respectively connected to the cantilever pipe section and the sleeve 110, and the connecting pipe section is connected between the outlet 1104 and the cantilever pipe section.

[0091] It is understandable that the types, concentrations, and amounts of the aforementioned activation solution, column loading solution, and elution solution, as well as the types, particle sizes, and amounts of the aforementioned adsorbents, can all be set according to actual needs.

[0092] It is understandable that the type and adsorption capacity of the adsorbents packed in the multiple separation columns 100 in the series path can be different. For example, the multiple separation columns 100 can be uniformly packed with adsorbents capable of selectively adsorbing strontium. 90 The adsorbent for Sr is either filled with a selective adsorbent for yttrium [Sr], or the adsorbent is filled with a material capable of selectively adsorbing yttrium. 90 The adsorbent for [Y], or a portion of the separation column 100, is filled with an adsorbent capable of selectively adsorbing strontium [Y]. 90 The adsorbent is Sr, and another part of the separation column 100 is filled with yttrium […]. 90 The adsorbent is Y; preferably, the separation column 100 located downstream of the series path can be filled with an adsorbent capable of selectively adsorbing strontium [Y]. 90 Sr] adsorbent, to avoid Sr[ 90 Sr] leakage. Accordingly, the type of the aforementioned elution solution can be selected based on the actual situation of the aforementioned adsorbent.

[0093] For example, at least one separation column 100 in the series path may be filled with an adsorbent for adsorbing interfering components, thereby facilitating the purification of the liquid medium flowing through the separation column 100, for obtaining yttrium [ 90 The purity and quality of the Y] solution are guaranteed; the aforementioned interfering components may be, but are not limited to, non-strontium [ 90 Sr] and yttrium 90 Inorganic ions and organic fragments of Y].

[0094] Taking the aforementioned series-connected separation columns 100 as an example, and with an effective volume of 100 greater than or equal to 5 mL and less than or equal to 12 mL, two optional combinations of the aforementioned solutions and adsorbents are provided below:

[0095] (1) The upstream separation column 100 is filled with 4.0 g of phosphate ester resin particles as adsorbent; the downstream separation column 100 is filled with 1.0 g of amide-ether resin particles as adsorbent; the activation solution is 10 mL of 0.1 mol / L nitric acid solution; the column loading solution is a 10 mL solution of 0.1 mol / L nitric acid with an activity of 50 mCi, containing 10 mL of strontium nitrate (Strontium-90); after the column loading is completed and the Strontium [ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 The elution solution used during the elution process before the decay equilibrium of yttrium [Y] was 20 mL of 3.0 mol / L nitric acid solution; in obtaining yttrium [ 90The rinsing solution used in the Y] solution process is nitric acid solution, and the amount and concentration can be set according to actual needs.

[0096] (2) Both separation columns 100 can be filled with 5.0 g of crown ether resin particles as adsorbent; the activation solution is 10 mL of 0.1 mol / L nitric acid solution; the loading solution is a 10 mL solution of strontium nitrate (strontium-90) with an activity of 50 mCi, and a system of 4.0 mol / L nitric acid; after loading is completed and strontium […] is reached in each separation column 100… 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 The elution solution used during the elution process before the decay equilibrium of yttrium [Y] was 20 mL of 4.0 mol / L nitric acid solution; in obtaining yttrium [ 90 The rinsing solution used in the Y] solution process is nitric acid solution, and the amount and concentration can be set according to actual needs.

[0097] It is understandable that the separation column 100 is used in the aforementioned strontium [ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 In the case of the Y] generator, when strontium[ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 After the Y] generator is assembled, it can be left for about 5 days to allow the strontium [ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 Y] is used after decay equilibrium.

[0098] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some examples, the separation column 100 further includes: a liquid inlet connector 140 with a liquid inlet hole 1401, the liquid inlet connector 140 being disposed outside the sleeve 110 and corresponding to the liquid inlet 1103, the liquid inlet hole 1401 being connected to the liquid inlet 1103; and a liquid outlet connector 150 with a liquid outlet hole 1501, the liquid outlet connector 150 being disposed outside the sleeve 110 and corresponding to the liquid outlet 1104, the liquid outlet hole 1501 being connected to the liquid outlet 1104; wherein, the axial direction of both the liquid inlet connector 140 and the liquid outlet connector 150 intersects the axial direction of the sleeve 110.

[0099] In this technical solution, the separation column 100 may further include the aforementioned inlet connector 140 and the aforementioned outlet connector 150. Based on the aforementioned configuration, the separation column 100 can respectively receive and discharge liquid media through the aforementioned inlet connector 140 and the aforementioned outlet connector 150, facilitating connection with external pipelines; by setting the axial direction of the aforementioned inlet connector 140 and the axial direction of the aforementioned outlet connector 150 to intersect with the axial direction of the sleeve 110, the aforementioned inlet connector 140 and the outlet connector 150 can be arranged at an angle relative to the sleeve 110. Therefore, given a fixed length of the aforementioned inlet hole 1401 and the aforementioned outlet hole 1501, the distribution length of the inlet connector 140 and the outlet connector 150 in the axial and radial directions of the sleeve 110 can be reduced, which is beneficial to further improve the structural compactness of the separation column 100. Furthermore, when multiple separation columns 100 are arranged radially, it is beneficial to reduce the radial distance between adjacent separation columns 100, thus providing a better foundation for Strontium […]. 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 The miniaturization and portability of the Y generator provide more favorable conditions.

[0100] For example, the aforementioned inlet connector 140, outlet connector 150, sleeve 110 and overflow pipe 130 are an integral structure and are all made of quartz glass.

[0101] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some examples, along the axial direction of the sleeve 110, both the inlet connector 140 and the outlet connector 150 are located between the first closed end 1101 and the second closed end 1102; and / or

[0102] The axial distance between the inlet end of the inlet connector 140 and the first closed end 1101 in the sleeve 110 is less than or equal to the axial distance between the inlet port 1103 and the first closed end 1101 in the sleeve 110; and / or

[0103] The distance between the outlet end of the outlet connector 150 and the first closed end 1101 in the axial direction of the sleeve 110 is less than or equal to the distance between the outlet 1104 and the first closed end 1101 in the axial direction of the sleeve 110.

[0104] In this technical solution, the inlet connector 140 and the outlet connector 150 can be positioned along the axial direction of the sleeve 110, both located between the first closed end 1101 and the second closed end 1102. Based on this, the inlet connector 140 and the outlet connector 150 can be prevented from protruding from the first closed end 1101 or the second closed end 1102 along the axial direction of the sleeve 110. This facilitates further reducing the length of the separation column 100 along the axial direction of the sleeve 110, improving the structural compactness of the separation column 100, and providing a better foundation for strontium [ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 The miniaturization and portability of the Y generator provide more favorable conditions.

[0105] In this technical solution, the distance between the inlet end of the inlet connector 140 and the first closed end 1101 in the axial direction of the sleeve 110 can be set to be less than or equal to the distance between the inlet port 1103 and the first closed end 1101 in the axial direction of the sleeve 110. Based on this, the inlet connector 140 can be inclined to extend from the outer peripheral wall of the sleeve 110 towards the first closed end 1101. Thus, when the separation column 100 is placed vertically, the inlet end of the inlet connector 140 can be in a relatively high position, which makes it easier for operators to assemble pipe fittings on the inlet connector 140 and improves the installation convenience of the separation column 100 in practical applications.

[0106] In this technical solution, the distance between the liquid outlet end of the liquid outlet connector 150 and the first closed end 1101 in the axial direction of the sleeve 110 can be set to be less than or equal to the distance between the liquid outlet 1104 and the first closed end 1101 in the axial direction of the sleeve 110. Based on this, the liquid outlet connector 150 can be inclined to extend from the outer peripheral wall of the sleeve 110 towards the first closed end 1101. Thus, when the separation column 100 is placed vertically, the liquid outlet end of the liquid outlet connector 150 can be in a relatively high position, which makes it easier for operators to assemble pipe fittings on the liquid outlet connector 150 and improves the installation convenience of the separation column 100 in practical applications.

[0107] It is understandable that, in practical applications, one, two, or all of the three settings proposed in this technical solution can be used.

[0108] Such as 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some examples, the length of the first inner cavity 1105 in the axial direction of the sleeve 110 is greater than or equal to the length of the second inner cavity 1106 in the axial direction of the sleeve 110.

[0109] In this technical solution, the length of the first inner cavity 1105 in the axial direction of the sleeve 110 can be set to be greater than or equal to the length of the second inner cavity 1106 in the axial direction of the sleeve 110. Based on this, with a fixed structural size of the sleeve 110, the volume of the first inner cavity 1105 can be increased, thereby ensuring the maximum filling amount of adsorbent in the first inner cavity 1105 and providing a guarantee for the separation effect of the separation column 100.

[0110] Understandably, in practical applications, the filter plate 120 can be arranged close to the second closed end 1102 so that the length of the first inner cavity 1105 in the axial direction of the sleeve 110 is greater than the length of the second inner cavity 1106 in the axial direction of the sleeve 110.

[0111] like Figures 1 to 15 As shown, a strontium […] is proposed according to a second aspect of the embodiments of this disclosure. 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90The generator includes: a housing assembly 200 having an installation space 2101; a first container 300 disposed within the installation space 2101; a second container disposed within the installation space 2101 for containing a rinsing solution; a power assembly 500 disposed within the installation space 2101, the liquid input end of the power assembly 500 being connected to the second container; a shielding assembly 600 disposed within the installation space 2101, the shielding assembly 600 having a receiving cavity 6001; and a plurality of separation columns 100 as described in any of the first aspects above disposed within the receiving cavity 6001, the plurality of separation columns 100 being connected in series between the liquid output end of the power assembly 500 and the first container 300; wherein the power assembly 500 is used to drive the rinsing solution in the second container to flow towards the separation columns 100.

[0112] The strontium provided in this embodiment of the disclosure 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 The Y] generator includes the aforementioned housing assembly 200, a first container 300, a second container, a power assembly 500, a shielding assembly 600, and a plurality of separation columns 100 as described in any of the first aspects above. The housing assembly 200 forms an installation space 2101, and in practical applications, the housing assembly 200 can serve as a strontium [ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 The Y] generator housing is used to provide structural protection for other components within the mounting space 2101 and to reduce strontium [ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 The radiation impact of the generator on the external environment; the first container 300, the second container, the power component 500 and the shielding component 600 are all arranged in the installation space 2101, and multiple separation columns 100 are arranged in the receiving cavity 6001 of the shielding component 600. The multiple separation columns 100 are connected in series between the liquid output end of the power component 500 and the first container 300, and the liquid input end of the power component 500 is connected to the second container. When the power component 500 is running, it can drive the elution solution in the second container to flow to the separation column 100. Correspondingly, the elution solution flows along the series path of the multiple separation columns 100, and can interact with the adsorbent and liquid medium in the corresponding separation column 100 during the flow through the multiple separation columns 100. The liquid medium discharged from the separation column 100 at the downstream end of the series path can further flow into the first container 300 for collection by the first container 300. It can be understood that the aforementioned elution solution is suitable for eluting yttrium adsorbed on the adsorbent. 90 Y]; Before starting the aforementioned power assembly 500, if the aforementioned adsorbent has been treated with yttrium [ 90 Strontium of Y] 90 When the Sr] solution is fed onto the column, during the process of the aforementioned elution solution flowing through each separation column 100, the yttrium [Sr] within the corresponding separation column 100 can be removed.90 Y] is washed out into the first container 300, and correspondingly, the liquid medium collected in the first container 300 may be yttrium [ 90 Y] solution.

[0113] Based on this, the strontium […] provided in the embodiments of this disclosure 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 The Y] generator can obtain yttrium relatively easily. 90 [Y] solution, and can utilize multiple separation columns 100 to reduce strontium [ 90 The risk of Sr] leakage, ensuring yttrium[ 90 The purity and quality of the Y] solution, and based on the aforementioned arrangement of the separation column 100, multiple separation columns 100 are suitable for radial arrangement within the shielding assembly 600 and series assembly, which helps to reduce the volume of the shielding assembly 600 and reduce the strontium [ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 The assembly difficulty of the Y] generator increases the strontium [ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 The miniaturization and portability of the Y] generator are beneficial for yttrium [Y] generation in practical applications. 90 The on-site acquisition of the Y] solution reduces the amount of yttrium [ 90 The transportation cost of the Y solution.

[0114] Understandably, in practical applications, the liquid output end of the power assembly 500 and the liquid inlet 1103 of the separation column 100 located upstream in the series path among the multiple separation columns 100 can be connected via a PEEK pipe (not shown in the figure) to establish the connection between the liquid output end of the power assembly 500 and the multiple separation columns 100 while ensuring the acid resistance and radiation resistance of the connecting pipe, which is beneficial for reducing strontium [ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 The risk of liquid leakage from the Y] generator; similarly, among the multiple separation columns 100, the outlet 1104 of the separation column 100 located at the downstream end of the series path can also be connected to the first container 300 via a PEEK pipe (not shown in the figure), and the liquid input end of the power assembly 500 can also be connected to the second container via a PEEK pipe. For example, considering the convenience of connecting the PEEK pipe to the first container 300 and the second container, strontium [ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 The Y] generator may also include two double-ended pins 290, one of which has its output end detachably inserted into the first container 300 and its input end connected to a PEEK tube corresponding to the first container 300, and the other double-ended pin 290 has its input end detachably inserted into the second container and its input end connected to a PEEK tube corresponding to the second container.

[0115] It should be noted that, Figures 5 to 15The second container is not shown. It can be understood that the aforementioned second container is suitable for containing the rinsing solution and for inserting the double-headed needle 290. The specific structural form is not limited here.

[0116] It is understandable that, in practical applications, both the aforementioned housing assembly 200 and the aforementioned shielding assembly 600 can be configured as openable and closable structures to facilitate the opening or closing of the aforementioned installation space 2101 and receiving cavity 6001. This facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the power assembly 500, the first container 300, the second container, the shielding assembly 600, and the separation column 100, and is beneficial for further improving the performance of strontium […]. 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 The ease of use of the Y generator.

[0117] Understandably, in practical applications, considering the ease of control of the power component 500, strontium [ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 The generator may also include a control panel disposed on the outer wall of the housing assembly 200. The control panel is signal-connected to the power assembly 500 and is used to control the start / stop status and operating parameters of the power assembly 500. The aforementioned operating parameters may include, but are not limited to, output pressure, output flow rate, input pressure, input flow rate, etc.

[0118] Understandably, by locating both the power assembly 500 and the shielding assembly 600 within the installation space 2101, and by placing the separation column 100 within the shielding assembly 600, the need for operators to handle strontium [ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 The radiation dose received by the Y generator.

[0119] It is understood that the series assembly of the aforementioned multiple separation columns 100 refers to the sequential connection of the multiple separation columns 100 in the flow path, that is, the multiple separation columns 100 are arranged in sequence according to a certain path. Among two adjacent separation columns 100 on the path, the liquid outlet 1104 of one is connected to the liquid inlet 1103 of the other. The liquid inlet 1103 of the separation column 100 located at the upstream end of the path can be connected to the liquid output end of the power component 500, and the liquid outlet 1104 of the separation column 100 located at the downstream end of the path can be connected to the first container 300.

[0120] Taking the number of separation columns 100 as an example, such as Figure 13As shown, both separation columns 100 can be disposed inside the shielding assembly 600, which is used to provide radioactive shielding for the separation columns 100. The axes of the two separation columns 100 can be parallel to each other, and the two separation columns 100 can be arranged radially at intervals along the sleeve 110 to reduce the spatial distribution range of the multiple separation columns 100 when arranged. The outlet 1104 of one of the two separation columns 100 can be connected to the inlet 1103 of the other through a connecting pipe (not shown in the figure) to form a series relationship between the two. In practical applications, the second closed ends 1102 of the two separation columns 100 can be arranged approximately flush so that when the two separation columns 100 are placed vertically, their heights are similar, thereby reducing the height difference between the inlet 1103 and outlet 1104 of the two separation columns 100, facilitating the assembly and connection of the aforementioned connecting pipe, and reducing the number of bends in the aforementioned connecting pipe.

[0121] It should be noted that the aforementioned first inner cavity 1105 may be filled with the aforementioned adsorbent, which may be, but is not limited to, an adsorbent capable of selectively adsorbing strontium. 90 Sr] or yttrium 90 Ion exchange resin adsorbents or macroporous adsorption resin adsorbents, etc., can be used in practical applications. In these applications, the adsorbents can be wet-filled into the first inner cavity 1105, and the filling quantity can be set according to actual needs. After filling the first inner cavity 1105 of the multiple separation columns 100 with adsorbent, the multiple separation columns 100 can be connected in series using connecting pipes. Then, an activation solution is injected into the separation column 100 located upstream of the series path, so that the activation solution flows sequentially through the multiple separation columns 100 in the series path, thereby activating the adsorbents within the multiple separation columns 100. After activating the multiple separation columns 100, an upper column solution can be injected into the separation column 100 located upstream of the series path, so that the upper column solution flows sequentially through the multiple separation columns 100 in the series path. The aforementioned upper column solution can contain yttrium […]. 90 Strontium of Y] 90 Sr] solution, for example, but not limited to strontium[ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 In the equilibrium solution, as the solution flows through each separation column 100, the adsorbent within each separation column 100 can target the strontium in the solution. 90 Sr] or yttrium 90 Y] is adsorbed to allow strontium[ 90 Sr] and yttrium 90 [Y] separation, the column loading process can be carried out in a radioactive shielded container; after the column loading is completed and strontium [Y] is reached at 100 on each separation column. 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90Before the decay equilibrium of yttrium [Y], a rinsing solution can be injected into the separation column 100 located at the upstream end of the series path to rinse the liquid medium in each separation column 100, reduce interfering components in the liquid medium in each separation column 100, and help ensure the subsequent acquisition of yttrium [Y]. 90 The purity of the Y] solution; after the aforementioned rinsing process is completed, multiple separation columns 100 can be placed inside the shielding assembly 600 to reduce strontium [ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 The radiation effect of the Y] generator on the surrounding environment can then be mitigated, and the aforementioned shielding component 600 can be transferred to the strontium [ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 The assembly line for the Y] generator, and with strontium[ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 Assemble and connect the other components of the Y] generator to complete the strontium [ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 Assembly of the Y] generator. Using the aforementioned strontium [ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 Y] generator acquires yttrium[ 90 When the Y] solution is in use, the power assembly 500 can be used to inject the elution solution into the separation column 100 located at the upstream end of the series path, so that the aforementioned elution solution can remove the yttrium [] in each separation column 100. 90 Y] is carried out, and correspondingly, the liquid discharged from the separation column 100 located at the downstream end of the series path can be collected to realize the separation of yttrium[ 90 The acquisition of the Y] solution. Furthermore, based on the method of setting up multiple separation columns 100 in series, it is also possible to perform strontium […] in practical applications. 90 Sr] and yttrium 90 Multiple separations of Y] reduce strontium[ 90 The risk of Sr] leakage increases the amount of yttrium obtained. 90 The purity and quality of the Y solution.

[0122] It is understandable that the types, concentrations, and amounts of the aforementioned activation solution, column loading solution, and elution solution, as well as the types, particle sizes, and amounts of the aforementioned adsorbents, can all be set according to actual needs.

[0123] It is understandable that the type and adsorption capacity of the adsorbents packed in the multiple separation columns 100 in the series path can be different. For example, the multiple separation columns 100 can be uniformly packed with adsorbents capable of selectively adsorbing strontium. 90 The adsorbent for Sr is either filled with a selective adsorbent for yttrium [Sr], or the adsorbent is filled with a material capable of selectively adsorbing yttrium. 90 The adsorbent for [Y], or a portion of the separation column 100, is filled with an adsorbent capable of selectively adsorbing strontium [Y]. 90The adsorbent is Sr, and another part of the separation column 100 is filled with yttrium […]. 90 The adsorbent is Y; preferably, the separation column 100 located downstream of the series path can be filled with an adsorbent capable of selectively adsorbing strontium [Y]. 90 Sr] adsorbent, to avoid Sr[ 90 Sr] leakage. Accordingly, the type of the aforementioned elution solution can be selected based on the actual situation of the aforementioned adsorbent.

[0124] For example, at least one separation column 100 in the series path may be filled with an adsorbent for adsorbing interfering components, thereby facilitating the purification of the liquid medium flowing through the separation column 100, for obtaining yttrium [ 90 The purity and quality of the Y] solution are guaranteed; the aforementioned interfering components may be, but are not limited to, non-strontium [ 90 Sr] and yttrium 90 Inorganic ions and organic fragments of Y].

[0125] Taking the aforementioned series-connected separation columns 100 as an example, and with an effective volume of 100 greater than or equal to 5 mL and less than or equal to 12 mL, two optional combinations of the aforementioned solutions and adsorbents are provided below:

[0126] (1) The upstream separation column 100 is filled with 4.0 g of phosphate ester resin particles as adsorbent; the downstream separation column 100 is filled with 1.0 g of amide-ether resin particles as adsorbent; the activation solution is 10 mL of 0.1 mol / L nitric acid solution; the column loading solution is a 10 mL solution of 0.1 mol / L nitric acid with an activity of 50 mCi, containing 10 mL of strontium nitrate (Strontium-90); after the column loading is completed and the Strontium [ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 The elution solution used during the elution process before the decay equilibrium of yttrium [Y] was 20 mL of 3.0 mol / L nitric acid solution; in obtaining yttrium [ 90 The rinsing solution used in the Y] solution process is nitric acid solution, and the amount and concentration can be set according to actual needs.

[0127] (2) Both separation columns 100 can be filled with 5.0 g of crown ether resin particles as adsorbent; the activation solution is 10 mL of 0.1 mol / L nitric acid solution; the loading solution is a 10 mL solution of strontium nitrate (strontium-90) with an activity of 50 mCi, and a system of 4.0 mol / L nitric acid; after loading is completed and strontium […] is reached in each separation column 100… 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 The elution solution used during the elution process before the decay equilibrium of yttrium [Y] was 20 mL of 4.0 mol / L nitric acid solution; in obtaining yttrium [90 The rinsing solution used in the Y] solution process is nitric acid solution, and the amount and concentration can be set according to actual needs.

[0128] It is understandable that when strontium [ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 After the Y] generator is assembled, it can be left for about 5 days to allow the strontium [ 90 Sr]-Yttrium[ 90 Y] is used after decay equilibrium.

[0129] like Figures 5 to 10 As shown, in some examples, the housing assembly 200 includes: a cylindrical portion 210 having an installation space 2101, a cylindrical opening 2102 at the top of the cylindrical portion 210, and an operation opening 2103 on the side wall of the cylindrical portion 210; a cover portion 220 detachably disposed on the cylindrical portion 210 for opening or covering the cylindrical opening 2102; a door portion 230 hinged to the cylindrical portion 210 for opening or covering the operation opening 2103; a first bracket 240 disposed within the installation space 2101, the first bracket 240 being arranged along the height direction of the cylindrical portion 210 between the operation opening 2103 and the cylindrical opening 2102, and a power assembly 500 disposed on the first bracket 240; and a second bracket 250 disposed within the installation space 2101, and a shielding assembly 600 disposed on the second bracket 250; wherein, both the first container 300 and the second container are arranged corresponding to the operation opening 2103.
