Non-uranium production of 99 Mo via neutron capture or by photonuclear reaction using an electron accelerator is receiving considerable attention. For commercial production of 99 Mo, post-irradiation processes must incorporate a robust design for easy scale-up. Once developed, large-scale chemical processes must be optimized for hot-cell operations and potential automation. Here we present experimental results on the large-scale dissolution of sintered Mo disks using three 50% hydrogen peroxides from different suppliers. Dissolution rates obtained for 600-g Mo batches and potential reasons for different dissolution behaviors is discussed.

烧结钼盘的大规模溶解

通过中子俘获或使用电子加速器的光核反应非铀生产 99 Mo 正受到相当多的关注。对于 99 Mo 的商业生产，辐照后工艺必须采用稳健的设计，以便于扩大规模。一旦开发出来，就必须针对热室操作和潜在的自动化对大规模化学工艺进行优化。在这里，我们展示了使用来自不同供应商的三种 50% 过氧化氢对烧结 Mo 盘进行大规模溶解的实验结果。讨论了 600-g Mo 批次获得的溶出率和不同溶出行为的潜在原因。
