Abstract

The paper introduces two reverse-tandem schemes of the ¹⁴⁰Ba → ¹⁴⁰La radionuclide generator which allow obtaining the daughter radionuclide ¹⁴⁰La for different applications in nuclear spectroscopy and as a tracer for radiochemical separations. The tandem generator system includes two stages: a chromatographic separation of parent and daughter radionuclides based on the main reverse column (cation-exchange column), and purification based on tandem column (extraction column). The main chromatographic separation is carried out in acetic acid media. Use of ¹⁴⁰La preparation with high specific activity in the perturbed angular γγ-correlation method is discussed.

Keywords: 140Ba; 140La; radionuclide generator; perturbed angular γγ-correlation method (γγ-PAC); reverse-tandem separation scheme; chromatographic separation
