Mo-99 PRODUCTION PLANT Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC C01G39/00 C22B34/34 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to production of Mo-99. Proposed device comprises solution reactor fitted in the circuit of circulation of fuel solution based on uranyl salt, fuel solution pump to force fuel solution from the reactor, heat exchanger, at least one sorption column to absorb Mo-99 from fuel solution. Besides it includes nuclear-safe apparatus for curing of fuel solution arranged above the reactor and at least one sorption column. Said column consists of two intercommunicating vessels. Note here that first communicating vessel has branch pipes of pressure and overflow pipelines connecting curing apparatus with reactor. Second communicating vessel has drain pipeline branch pipe arranged under overflow pipeline branch pipe. Said vessel communicates curing apparatus with solution reactor via at least one sorption column. This device is equipped with pump to force fuel solution into rector circuit of circulation of fuel solution between said curing apparatus and at least one sorption column.

EFFECT: higher efficiency.
