The use of molybdenum oxide nanoparticles for production of free isotope Mo-99

The possibility of photonuclear production of ⁹⁹Mo medical radioisotopes using recoil nuclei of nanoparticles MoO₃ from reaction ¹⁰⁰Mo(γ,n)⁹⁹Mo was investigated. (γ,n)-reaction does not be accompanied by change in nuclear charge. Therefore, the enrichment of radioactive isotopes is being carried out...

Zusammenfassung:The possibility of photonuclear production of ⁹⁹Mo medical radioisotopes using recoil nuclei of nanoparticles MoO₃ from reaction ¹⁰⁰Mo(γ,n)⁹⁹Mo was investigated. (γ,n)-reaction does not be accompanied by change in nuclear charge. Therefore, the enrichment of radioactive isotopes is being carried out using methods based on the effect of Szilard-Chalmers. The highest concentration of ⁹⁹Mo is required for manufacturing of ⁹⁹mTc-⁹⁹Mo generators. These generators will promote successful using ⁹⁹mTc in nuclear medicine. MoO₃ nanoparticles of size 13…80 nm were placed in isopropyl alcohol and ethylene glycol. The colloidal solution of MoO₃ is achieved by sonication. The colloidal solution of nanoparticles of MoO₃ was irradiated by bremsstrahlung with Emax = 12.5 MeV. The recoil nuclei of ⁹⁹Mo were separated by means of diantipyrylmethane in sulfuric acid solution. Yield of ⁹⁹Mo from extractable phase amounted ~ 4%, in consequence of the high density of MoO₃ nanoparticles in a colloidal solution.
