Developing fast and efficient separation avenues can promote either fundamental study or practical application
of astatine-211(211At). This work presents a new solid-phase extraction (SPE) separation strategy based on
functional resin for recovering 211At from the irradiated bismuth (Bi) target mildly and rapidly, without
switching HNO3 medium into HCl system. Four functional resins containing acyl-resin, thioether, sulfonate- and
sulfonate-groups had been prepared via Friedel-Crafts acylation and alkylation reactions successfully, and subsequently
characterized by FTIR, EA, SEM etc. Acyl-resin from these functional materials have shown good
retention towards 211At but low binding affinity to all possible metal impurities (Zn2+, Cu2+, Ga3+and Bi3+) in
simulated separation experiments. Static batch sorption experiments indicate that the pseudo-second-order kinetic
model is more suitable for describing the binding behavior of 211At on Acyl-resin. This reveals that
chemisorption dominates the reaction between the target radionuclide and functional material. During several
practical separations in medically-used scale, over 98.5 % of 211At can be well retained on SPE column with
metal impurities removed in the process of loading target solution and removing non-target radionuclides. More
importantly, 60.03 %~79.05 % of 211At on the Acyl-resin SPE column is recoverable by NH2OH-NH3⋅H2OCH3OH
elution process, and over 60 % of the radioactivity distributes in volatile organic solvent (CH3OH). The
whole SPE separation process can be completed within 20 min, giving 211At product with high radionuclidic
purity (≥ 99 %), low metal impurities (Bi3+≤ 17.37 μg and Cu2+≤ 2.91 μg) and high radiolabeling availability.
This work implies that acyl-groups can act as potential binding motifs not only for developing new 211At separation
methods but also designing bifunctional conjugate agents for astatinated compounds based on coordination
bonds.
