Introduction• Astatine for radiotherapy
209Bi(α, 2n)211At
211At half life: 7.2 hChallenges: distillation, type of acid used, need to understand Bi behavior
• 207Bi • Long half life (32.2 y)• Radioactivity
increases sensitivity
Liquid-Liquid Extraction and Experimental Methods• Aqueous/organic phases• Extraction – moving a
molecule/complex/ion of interest from one phase to the other
• Distribution ratio (D value)
D = #$%&'()*#)*'($%&

NaI Detector• 207Bi decays by electron
capture (and very minor positron emission)
• Gamma rays are weak • Used instead:
characteristic X-ray• How the detector works:
scintillation using NaIcrystal

1-octanol• 1-octanol
• Hydrophobic, known to extract 211At
• Potential for automation
• Future work –mechanism
• Issue: it’s a traditional organic solvent

Hydrophobic Liquid Binary Mixtures
• Green chemistry: non-volatile, reduced toxicity, biodegradable
• A new form of organic solvent –never before used with Bi or At
Mixtures and Properties
J. M. Edgecomb, E. E. Tereshatov, M. Boltoeva, C. M. Folden III (in preparation).
Summary and Conclusions• Potential to make 211At viable for
radiotherapy. Expand uses of TAMU cyclotron.
• 1-octanol shows promise as a solvent that extracts At and not Bi
• Liquid binary mixtures provide more insight into Bi behavior in solution
• Future work: mechanisms, introduction of At into extractions
