Dear Pavel,<br>
<br>
This idea was originally propsed by Jamal, he included this as a future direction in our previous application (last paragraph, I think).<br>
<br>
Gallium salts are commercially available (eg: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/materials-science/material-science-products.html?TablePage=19295346) We don't have to convert liquid for this. <br>
<br>
Salts can be made into a solid target, and its heat management during bombardment will be easier than liquid.<br>
<br>
Purification will be lot more easier than with liquid target.<br>
<br>
I am guessing it will be cost effective too.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Sundaresan<br>

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

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