Methods and devices for isolating lead 203
View Patent ↗Methods for isolating Pb and/or Pb isotopes from various sources are provided. Compositions comprising Pb and/or Pb isotopes free of certain amounts of various contaminants are also provided.
1. A method, comprising
contacting a chelating resin that comprises iminodiacetic acid with a solution comprising Pb, and
eluting the Pb bound to the chelating resin with a heated sodium hydroxide solution, wherein the heated sodium hydroxide solution is at a temperature suitable for the selective elution of Pb.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the temperature of the heated sodium hydroxide solution is about 85-95° C.
3. A method, comprising
contacting a chelating resin that comprises iminodiacetic acid with a solution comprising Pb, and
eluting the Pb bound to the chelating resin with heated sodium hydroxide solution, wherein the temperature of the sodium hydroxide is at about 90° C.
4. A method, comprising
eluting Pb from a chelating resin using a sodium hydroxide solution at a temperature of about 85-95° C.
or of about 85° C. or higher.
