Selective separation of 169Yb from proton-irradiated Tm2O3 targets using phosphonate-functionalized hybrid sorbents

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Yb-enriched fractions. Tailored elution prior to acid stripping proved effective in enhancing overall enrichment performance. Combined with SG85-TTHMP's operational simplicity and environmental compatibility, these results support its potential utility in selective lanthanide separation for radiochemical applications.
