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

Solvometallurgical leaching for selective extraction of platinum-group elements from end-of-life autocatalysts, electronic waste and tailings KU Leuven
Different lixiviants based on organic solvents will be developed with the aim to selectively dissolve PGMs (Pt, Pd or Rh) from end-of-life autocatalysts, electronic waste and tailings. . A first class of lixiviants consists of CuCl2 or FeCl3 dissolved in DMSO, DMF or acetonitrile, and where Cu(II) and Fe(III) acts as oxidizing agents. In contrast to in aqueous solutions, these metal ions are strong oxidants in organic solvents because ...
