The document describes a novel method for producing Cr-51 using two different ion exchange separation techniques. The first technique uses triton X-100 cerium(IV)phosphate (TX-100CeP) as an inorganic cation exchanger, while the second uses permutit as an organic cation exchanger. Both techniques separate Cr-51(III) from Cr(VI) using hydrochloric acid as an eluting agent. The TX-100CeP method yielded 90±0.5% Cr-51, while the permutit method yielded 85±0.5% Cr-51. The TX-100CeP method is considered more suitable as it provides high yield with a simple procedure.
