Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to a new process for generating germanium-68 from an irradiated target body. The process includes irradiation of the target body followed by various extraction techniques to generate the germanium-68.

Claim (Index 1):
A process for generating a radioisotope, the process comprising:\n bombarding a target body including a starting material, wherein the bombardment of the starting material produces a radioisotope within the target body; allowing the bombarded target body to decay; stripping the bombarded target body with an acidic mixture to create a stripped solution, wherein the acidic mixture includes (a) copper (II) nitrate trihydrate and nitric acid, or (b) 3 M to 6 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) and 6 M to 15 M nitric acid (HNO 3 ); extracting the radioisotope from the stripped solution using a non-polar solvent to remove the acidic mixture and create a non-polar solvent fraction including the radioisotope; washing the non-polar solvent fraction including the radioisotope; and, extracting the radioisotope from the non-polar solvent fraction using water.
