Abstract
(44g)Sc was produced by 16MeV proton irradiation of unenriched calcium metal with radionuclidic purity greater than 95%. The thick target yield at saturation for (44g)Sc was 213 MBq/μA, dwarfing the yields of contaminants (43)Sc,(44 m)Sc, (47)Sc and (48)Sc for practical bombardment times of 1-2h. Scandium was isolated from the dissolved calcium target by filtration, and reconstituted in small volumes of dilute HCl. Reactions with the chelate 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) indicated a reactivity of 54 ± 14 Gbq/μmol at end-of-bombardment.Entities:
