Summary:A procedure for recovery of Zn from acidic Ga-rich solutions generated in Ge production process was developed and implemented in a 'hot cell' environment. A one step simple separation was carried out on anion exchange column filled with Biorad AG1-X8 resin. With Zn recovery yields of more than 95% this procedure is currently routinely used at Brookhaven Linac Isotope Producer.
