METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING Tc REACTION PRODUCT Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G21G1/10 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method of producing a ^99mTc-containing reaction product. The disclosed method includes providing a ¹⁰⁰Mo metal target to be irradiated, irradiating the ¹⁰⁰Mo metal target with a proton beam having energy for inducing a ¹⁰⁰Mo(p, 2n) ^99mTC nuclear reaction, heating the ¹⁰⁰Mo metal target to temperature of over 300°C, recovering ^99mTc produced in the ¹⁰⁰Mo metal target (15) in a sublimation-extraction process with the aid of oxygen gas which is directed over the ¹⁰⁰Mo metal target to form technetium oxide ^99mTc. The device for producing a ^99mTc-containing reaction product comprises a ¹⁰⁰Mo metal target, an acceleration unit for generating a proton beam to be directed towards the ¹⁰⁰Mo metal target such that during irradiation of the ¹⁰⁰Mo metal target with a proton beam, the ¹⁰⁰Mo(p,2n)^99mTc nuclear reaction is induced, a gas inlet for directing oxygen gas to the irradiated ¹⁰⁰Mo metal target to form technetium oxide ^99mTc and a gas outlet for removing sublimated technetium oxide ^99mTc.

EFFECT: obtaining technetium directly based on a nuclear reaction which occurs owing to the reaction of a proton beam with molybdenum atoms.
