Extraction separation of no-carrier-added 103Pd from irradiated Rh target, Cu and Zn using α-furyldioxime, dimethylglyoxime and α-benzildioxime

Solvent extraction of no-carrier-added 103Pd from irradiated rhodium target hydrochloric solution was investigated using α-furyldioxime, dimethylglyoxime and α-benzildioxime as extracts in chloroform. The best extractant yield for a single run was 96.9% with dimethylglyoxime from 0.93 M HCl and 103Pd purity was better than 99.99%.
