Abstract

Electrodeposition of silver on copper substrate was carried out using alkaline plating baths for production of Cadmium-109 via the natAg(p, n)109Cd nuclear reaction. The target could withstand 15 MeV proton beam currents of up to 150 μA; the 109Cd production yield was 1.88 μCi/μAh (0.069 MBq/(μAh). Cadmium-109 was separated from silver and non-isotopic impurities by ion-exchange chromatography. © by Oldenbourg Wissenschaftsverlag, München.
