PhD topic (SCK-CEN): Separation and purification of medical radioisotopes by solvent extraction in milliflow reactors, promotors prof. Koen Binnemans and Prof. Tom Van Gerven

This project aims to develop innovative processes for extraction of medical radioisotopes from irradiated target materials by solvent extraction in milliflow reactors. Milliflow reactors offer the advantage of more efficient separations, fast processing times, low liquid hold-up volumes and thus lower waste volumes compared to conventional solvent extraction equipment such as mixer-settlers. The separation of …
