Study of Synthesis of Nanoparticulate Zinc Oxide Aiming at the Confection of Appropriated Targets for the Production of Radioisotopes

Abstract:

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is a multifunctional material, which produces radionuclides of gallium by irradiation, widely used in diagnosis and nuclear medicine. In this work, two precursors were tested as well as two routes of synthesis, with the objective of obtaining nanoparticles appropriate to the production of pellets with grain size and porosity suitable for target preparation used in the radioisotope production by irradiation. The sintered pellets obtained from zinc acetate and NH₄OH, and freeze-dried presented density of 90% of the theoretical density, average particle size of 1 μm and macropore size of 500 nm. These targets generated radionuclide of gallium (⁶⁷Ga and ⁶⁶Ga) inside the pores, without rupture of the pellets, confirmed by gamma spectroscopy, at low cost of production.
