Inorganic sorbent for molybdenum-99 extraction from irradiated uranium solutions and its method of use

Abstract

A high radiation resistant inorganic sorbent is used for the extraction of Mo-99 from the fission byproducts of a uranyl sulfate nuclear-fueled homogeneous-solution nuclear reactor. The sorbent is a composition of hydrated titanium dioxide combined with 5 to 40 mole percent zirconium hydroxide formed into pellets and saturated with an isotope composition of uranium.
