Inorganic sorption materials tailored for 225Ra/225Ac and 225Ac/213Bi radionuclide generators for biomedical applications

Biomedical applications of radionuclides, such as radiotherapy and medical imaging, require pure fractions of a broad range of radionuclides, which is mostly achieved by chromatographic column separation. Solid phases predominantly used in chromatographic separation, such as alumina or organic ion exchange resins and extraction resins suffer from several drawbacks, e.g. limited shelf-life, low sorption capacity and radiolysis. Alternatively, inorganic materials, such as amorphous activated carbon and titanium dioxide (titania), tailored for specific radionuclide separations can potentially overcome those limitations. This project focuses on the development of innovative inorganic sorption materials for the production of 225Ra/225Ac and 225Ac/213Bi generators.
