Preparation and characterization of α-zirconium phosphate as a perspective material for separation of 225Ac and 213Bi

The interest for ZrP this material is based on its physicochemical properties which makes this material a perspective candidate for applications in nuclear medicine. In this study ZrP was prepared and completely characterized using various analytical methods. Finally, the study of radiometals sorption mechanism on a surface of ZrP and the surface characterization of ZrP were done. In conclusion, ZrP appears as promising for next studies with various purposes like drug delivery system or ion-exchanger for separations of medical radionuclides such as Ac-225 and Bi-213.
