Summary

We investigated the production of 44Sc via the 44Ca(p,n) 44Sc and 43Sc via the 43Ca(p,n) 43Sc nuclear reaction using a proton beam (8 MeV). The separation of radioactive Sc from Ca was carried out using DGA resin successfully and confirmed using ICP-OES, demonstrating high purity and recovery of Sc. Using the same apparatus, non-active NPs-Sc were synthesized via co-precipitation method by reacting separated Sc radioisotopes with ammonium bicarbonate, facilitating controlled precipitation with average size of 1nm in automated fashion
