Abstract
A new approach for extraction of Mo-99 tracer as a lighter homolog of Seaborgium (Sg) by three different the ionic liquids are studied. Aliquat-336 [Aliq-336.Cl-] as anion exchange has been used for the preparation of three ionic liquid, namely: ([Aliq-336](+) [SCN](-)), ([Aliq-336](+) [S](-)) and ([Aliq-336](+) [Fe(CN)(6)](-)). Their potential extraction of carrier free Mo-99 from HNO3 solutions has been evaluated. The obtained results demonstrated that successful extraction of carrier free Mo-99 from HNO3 solutions is achieved. The ([Aliq-336](+) [Fe(CN)(6)](-)) is found to give the highest extraction affinity for Mo-99 than the others ionic liquids investigated. The preliminary results could be useful for the upcoming aqueous experiments of Seaborgium.
