[Isotope-prod] [EXTERNAL] DOE-FOA

[Sundaresan Gobalakrishnan]

Dear Pavel,

This idea was originally propsed by Jamal, he included this as a future direction in our previous application (last paragraph, I think).

Gallium salts are commercially available (eg: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.sigmaaldrich.com_materials-2Dscience_material-2Dscience-2Dproducts.html-3FTablePage-3D19295346&d=DwIF-g&c=lz9TcOasaINaaC3U7FbMev2lsutwpI4--09aP8Lu18s&r=NxrO0ug74rUvvjcutEs9KvyZh4ULTic71MVpELLWMu8&m=ru-9C8_mRkKGtgFK1R72nkxW4BWJ24JGdZsJx3BCv8M&s=9X4OLfGDDpzFVepMMFB5C1gELLJIbV4gjTZ8vs4JqXk&e= )  We don't have to convert liquid for this.

Salts can be made into a solid target, and its heat management during bombardment will be easier than liquid.

Purification will be lot more easier than with liquid target.

I am guessing it will be cost effective too.

Best regards,
Sundaresan

Dear Sundaresan,

Could you please list advantages of using the salts, just briefly for non-professionals.
And how difficult would it be to convert 100 gram of liquid metal Gallium into a salt form.

Thanks, and best regards,
Pavel

Besides liquid Gallium, production of Cu-67 from Gallium salts could also be explored via the new application. Good opportunity.
