Abstract
The present invention is directed towards methods for isolating molybdenum compounds from a mixture of fission products. The mixture of fission products may be extracted from a molten salt reactor system. Utilizing a phase transfer agent, the molybdenum compounds may be extracted from an aqueous solution into an organic solution, thereby isolating the molybdenum compound from the mixture of fission products. Molybdate may then be isolated from the resulting organic solution and provided to a generator to facilitate transformation into technitum-99m.
