✦ Synopsis

Tellurium radionuchdes

produced in the (c(, xn) reaction on a Sn target have been separated in carrier-free form by coprecipitation with Pd followed by anion exchange separation. Tellurium was oxidised to Te(V1) by NaBiO, before loading onto Dowex 2 x 8 anion exchange resin. The time required to complete the chemical separation was about I h. The overall chemical yield was estimated to be 78 + 3%
