Abstract
A Molybdenum/Technetium 99-m generator containing a metal-molybdate containing powder and an alumina sorbent. A preferred alumina sorbent is a gamma-phase alumina (γ-Al2O3), a chi-phase alumina (χ-Al2O3), or a combination thereof.
Claims20
A Molybdenum/Technetium 99-m generator comprising:
- a metal-molybdate (Mo) containing powder;
- and
- a guard filter comprising an alumina.
A Molybdenum/Technetium 99-m generator comprising:
- a metal-molybdate containing powder;
- and
- a gamma-phase aluminum oxide (γ-Al2O3).
A Molybdenum/Technetium 99-m generator comprising:
- a metal-molybdate containing powder;
