In this paper, we present an in-depth computational chemistry-based molecular level analysis of the radiolytic degradation of diglycolamides, with a focus on structural and thermodynamic aspects of the process. The most vulnerable parts of the organic ligands prone to attack and degradation by radicals are identified via electronic density and bond strength analysis. We identified the C–O of the ether group as the weakest bond, which is further weakened by methylation. A plausible degradation path resulting from breaking the C–O bond by H radical attack is obtained by computation of free energy of the process. To investigate realistic reaction conditions, we accounted for the impact of solvation effects on the thermodynamic quantities, including solvation entropy effects. The resulting degradation mechanism is consistent with experimentally observed degradation products.","PeriodicalId":21167,"journal":{"name":"Radiochimica Acta","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134990881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To expedite the processing of liquid waste stored in underground tanks in southeastern Washington state, it is necessary to remove the significant dose contributor, 137Cs. Toward this effort, ion exchange with crystalline silicotitanate (CST) has been employed as part of the Tank Side Cesium Removal system. The model used to predict Cs exchange onto CST was developed using activity coefficients calculated from the Bromley equation. A series of batch contact tests that varied in [Na] were conducted to look at the impact of Na concentration on Cs distribution. Experimental distribution ratios (K d) were compared to the distribution ratios predicted using three different activity coefficient models: (1) commercially available HSC software, (2) the Bromley equation, and (3) a simplified approach adapted from Marcos-Arroyo et al. Ultimately, the Bromley method underpredicted the effect of ionic strength on the Na activity coefficient (γ Na+), HSC overestimated the impact of ionic strength on the expected performance due to the Cs activity coefficient (γ Cs+), but the simplified approach predicted the experimental K d values quite well in a binary matrix. Expansion of this approach in complex matrices is necessary for application to Hanford tank waste.","PeriodicalId":21167,"journal":{"name":"Radiochimica Acta","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46599146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adsorption potentials of Th(IV) ions were investigated with the functionalization of GO with ZnO nanoparticles (GO-ZnO) and compared with the GO. Studies concerning factors affecting the adsorption process, kinetics, adsorption isotherms, and thermodynamic properties were carried out. In this study, the optimum pH for the adsorption of Th(IV) ions is 3.0, and quickly reaching equilibrium is an indication of the high efficacy of the sorbent. A pseudo-second order adsorption model fits the kinetic data well. Experimental results were compared with Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm models. These results show that the Langmuir model fits the data well. Measured thermodynamic parameters, Gibbs free energy change (ΔG°), enthalpy change (ΔH°), and entropy change (ΔS°) indicate that the adsorption of Th(IV) on GO−ZnO is spontaneous and endothermic in nature. According to the linear fit in the Langmuir isotherm model, the maximum adsorption capacity of GO and GO-ZnO at 298 K occurs at 109.89 mg/g and 243.90 mg/g, respectively. The results show that decoration with ZnO nanoparticles is a good method to improve the adsorption capacity of GO for Th(IV) removal.","PeriodicalId":21167,"journal":{"name":"Radiochimica Acta","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49213307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One promising MAE candidate is 197m/gHg with its half-life of 23.8 h and 64.1 h, respectively, and high MAE yield. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) that are labelled with 197m/gHg could be a helpful tool for radiation treatment of glioblastoma multiforme when infused into the surgical cavity after resection to prevent recurrence. To produce such AuNPs, 197m/gHg was embedded into pristine AuNPs. Two different syntheses were tested starting from irradiated gold containing trace amounts of 197m/gHg. When sodium citrate was used as reducing agent, no 197m/gHg labelled AuNPs were formed, but with tannic acid, 197m/gHg labeled AuNPs were produced. The method was optimized by neutralizing the pH (pH = 7) of the Au/197m/gHg solution, which led to labelled AuNPs with a size of 12.3 ± 2.0 nm as measured by transmission electron microscopy. The labelled AuNPs had a concentration of 50 μg (gold)/mL with an activity of 151 ± 93 kBq/mL (197gHg, time corrected to the end of bombardment).","PeriodicalId":21167,"journal":{"name":"Radiochimica Acta","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49277165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A number of automated synthesis modules and purification strategies for production of [18F]FMISO have been described in recent years. The goal of this work was to develop [18F]FMISO synthesis process with Synthera module with solid phase extraction (SPE) Sep-Pak purification cartridges. To adjust the reaction conditions we synthesized [18F]FMISO under different reaction conditions and using various reversed-phase (RP) purification cartridges (HLB light, HLB plus, tC18, C18 environmental, Chromafix PS-RP). The synthesis was performed by nucleophilic substitution of commercial 1-(2′-nitro-1′-imidazolyl)-2-O-tetrahydropyranyl-3-O-toluenesulfonylpropanediol precursor and subsequent acidic hydrolysis. Further, the product mixture was purified by passing through the SPE cartridge. The produced [18F]FMISO was retained on the cartridge, while the impurities passed through the cartridge into a waste. The retained [18F]FMISO was then eluted with small amounts of ethanol in water and eluates were collected in the final product vial. The product sample was subjected to quality control tests, while for waste sample chemical and radiochemical tests were performed. We have developed an efficient synthesis method of [18F]FMISO with cartridge purification with good radiochemical yield (RCY) and high chemical and radiochemical purity in accordance with the Ph. Eur. Monograph for Fluoromisonidazole (18F) injection.","PeriodicalId":21167,"journal":{"name":"Radiochimica Acta","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44833353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
