Distribution coefficient properties of carrier free 99Mo as a homolog of Seaborgium (Sg) from some acid solutions using ion exchange resin

We aim to investigate the separation of carrier free Mo-99 as a homolog of Sg (element-106) from HCl, HNO3, H2SO4 and HF solutions using Bio-resin impregnated by trioctylamine (TOA), (BR-TOA). Distribution coefficient (K-d) of carrier free Mo-99 has been investigated under various conditions by batch mode. To get knowledge towards the chemical behavior of Sg(IV) and Sg(VI), set of different chemical system, including mixed reducing agent with an acid solution for possible reduction and/or subsequent separation of Mo-99 species was tested. The preliminary results are demonstrated that possible separation of different species of Mo-99 as a homolog of Sg using BR-TOA. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
