Production of Cu via the Zn(p,2p)Cu reaction and recovery of Zn target

The radionuclide Cu was produced via the Zn(p,2p)Cu reaction by irradiating enriched Zn targets with 70 MeV proton beam. Copper-67 was chemically separated from the zinc target by ion-exchange chromatography using Chelex-100 chelating ion-exchange resin. Procedure for recovery of the enriched Zn was...

Summary:The radionuclide Cu was produced via the Zn(p,2p)Cu reaction by irradiating enriched Zn targets with 70 MeV proton beam. Copper-67 was chemically separated from the zinc target by ion-exchange chromatography using Chelex-100 chelating ion-exchange resin. Procedure for recovery of the enriched Zn was developed. The target recovery yield of this method was evaluated to be more than 97%.
