Abstract: | Separation of no-carrier-added (NCA) 88Zr from natural yttrium target irradiated with proton beam has been studied using nature-resourced material, potato peel, which is a commonly available domestic waste. Here, an attempt has been undertaken to exploit natural resource as separating agent. Good separation of NCA 88Zr from bulk Yttrium target could be achieved at 0.01 M HCl concentration, when extraction was carried out using 20 mg potato peel charcoal—a natural bio-sorbent. 88Zr was extracted in the solid phase leaving behind bulk Y in the aqueous phase. |
