Abstract
Sorption of radiostrontium (in particular, 82Sr) from liquid rubidium metal on various inorganic sorbents (metals and oxides) was studied. The temperature dependence and dynamics of the adsorption were studied, and the observed relationships were accounted for. The procedure developed allows efficient isolation of 82Sr from Rb targets after their irradiation with accelerated protons. Various versions of the procedure are considered, and prospects for the development of a new high-performance process for preparing 82Sr, in particular, using circulating Rb targets, were discussed.
