Abstract
Abstract47Sc can be produced from different three neutron induced nuclear reactions as 47Ti(n,p)47Sc, 50V(n,α)47Sc and 46Ca(n,γ)47Ca, 47Ca(β−)47Sc using the Egyptian Second Research Reactor. The measured neutron cross-sections (σ) are 62.12 ± 1.93, 4.51 ± 1.27 and 69.36 ± 2.01 mb from the natural targets of TiO2, V2O3 and CaO respectively. The carrier-free 47Sc from 47Ti(n,p), was purified using a composite of Alginate–Carboxymethyl cellulose/di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid. The radiochemical separation of 47Sc with a recovery yield of 90 ± 1.2% was obtained. The eluted 47Sc passed quality control tests (chemical, radionuclide, and radiochemical purities) and was found to be suitable for nuclear medicine applications.
