AbstractAbstract
[en] The 99mTc are the radionuclide more used in the nuclear medicine, it is used for diagnostic and therapy, and he is commonly takes place by means of a generator 99 Mo-99mTc, using molybdenum (99Mo) product of the fission of the uranium, adsorbed over alumina. This generator imposes the use of high activities you specify of 99 Mo, as well as of complex processes of separation of the one 99 Mo, generating important quantities of radioactive waste of medium activity. As well as, the production of these generators, demands the use of reactors of great capacity that Mexico not it possesses, in such a way that, presently work is carried out a generator of 99 Mo- 99m Tc, in the one which 99 Mo taken place by the reaction 98 Mo(n, γ) 99 Mo that it was part from a gel to base is used of molybdate and zirconium. It was found, therefore, to produce a generator 99 Mo- 99mTc with the help of gels of zirconium and molybdates with the same characteristics of quality and purity that those obtained by the one traditional generator and that it can be carried out under the conditions technical-economics prevailing in Mexico. Specifically, this work has been focused to the study of the effect caused by the variation of the one p H in the solutions of ZrOCl2 * 8H2O (zirconil) and of molybdates, of the relationships molars zirconium : molybdenum (Zr:Mo), as well as the effect of the concentration variation, time of preparation and consequently p H of the ZrOCl2 * 8H2O in the synthesis of the gel zirconium - 99 molybdenum, on the efficiency of the generator and the quantity of 99 Mo presents in the 99m Tc taken place by this means. The gel used for the production of 99mTc will possess a discharge efficiency of recovery of 99mTc and a contained first floor of pollutants, in particular smaller to 0.015% of 99 Mo, main source of impurity radionuclide of these generators. The obtained results show that to p H average (3.8 and 4.5), the obtained efficiencies they are the biggest (- 80%). To high concentrations of the zirconil used in the synthesis of those gels (0.5 M), the efficiencies are low and with contained first floor of 99 Mo in the eluates; while that, to low concentrations of ZrOCl2 * 8H20 (0.045M), the efficiencies increase, but also the quantity of 99 Mo present in the eluates. At the using solutions of ZrOCl2 * 8H2O prepared one day before the synthesis of the gel, bigger efficiency is obtained. The suitable p H of this solution this in the interval of 0.7 at 1.5. The relation Zr:Mo but convenient for to synthesize the gel is 1:1, because to this relation Zr:Mo the efficiency of the generator is bigger than the 80 %. Therefore, the choice of each one of the parameters studied in this work, it should be then a commitment among: high efficiency of the generator 99 Mo- 99mTc and contained first floor of 99 Mo in the eluates.
