Abstract The extractability of99Mo-molybdophosphoric acid H3/PMo12O40/ and99mTc-pertechnetic acid /PTcO4/ in 20% (v/v) bis /2-ethylhexyl/ phosphoric acid /HDEHP/ in benzene has been investigated at different concentrations of HCl, HBr and HNO3 acids. The effect of extractant concentration and diluent on the extractability of molybdophosphoric and pertechnetic acids with 20% (v/v) HDEHP in benzene from different concentrations of HCl acid has also been studied.99Mo-molybdo-phosphoric acid was found to be selectively extracted and separated from99mTc-pertechnetic acid with 20% HDEHP in benzene at an acidity of about 0.49M HCl, HBr and HNO3. The extractability of H3/PMo12O40/ from these acids generally follows the decreasing order HBr〉HCl〉HNO3. The separation factors /Kd molybdophosphoric/Kd pertechnetic/ were found to be 12.9×105 and 7.6×105 for HBr and HCl, respectively. The extractability of pertechnetic acid follows the order HCl〉HBr≫HNO3. Benzene is the diluent due to its radiation stability. A new procedure for the separation of99mTc from99Mo was suggested.
