Extractants and extractant compositions for radioisotope and metal recovery

Disclosed herein are embodiments of an extractant that can be used for chromatographic isolation of radioisotopes and/or metal species. The extractant can be combined with a support medium to provide an extractant composition that selectively and efficiently binds particular radioisotopes and/or metal species. Also disclosed herein are embodiments of a method for using the disclosed extractant embodiments, as well as embodiments of a method for making the extractant and extractant composition.

Method for producing thorium-226

Disclosed herein are embodiments of a method for producing thorium-226. The method comprises separating thorium-226 from uranium-230 to produce a solution of thorium-226 in a solvent, such as a chelating buffer, suitable for direct labeling by a chelate. The thorium-226 may be separated from the uranium-230 using extraction chromatography. The extraction may be repeated multiple times as additional thorium-226 is produced by uranium-230 decay.
