The production and radiochemical separation of 55Co from deuteron irradiation of enriched 54Fe target is described. Methods used for the recovery and reuse of the target material (54Fe) are also described. The yield of 55Co at 12 MeV incident deuteron energy is 1.7 mCi per mu Ah at end of bombardment and the contamination with 57Co is 0.016%. The 55Co produced is chelated to bleomycin and used for tumour imaging with a positron emission tomographic camera based on multi-wire proportional chamber detectors.
描述了通过用氘核辐照富集的54Fe靶来生产55Co及其放射化学分离过程。还介绍了用于回收和再利用靶材料（54Fe）的方法。在入射氘核能量为12 MeV时，轰击结束时55Co的产率为每微安时1.7毫居里，57Co的污染率为0.016%。所产生的55Co与博来霉素螯合，并用于基于多丝正比室探测器的正电子发射断层相机进行肿瘤成像。
