Hierarchically macro-/mesoporous gamma-Al2O3 (HMMA) was synthesized and characterized by various analytical techniques. The results indicated that HMMA possessed macropores (similar to 0.45 mu m) and mesopores (similar to 10.6 nm) with a large surface area (similar to 542 m(2) g(-1)). The absorption behaviors of Mo and Re with HMMA were investigated. The maximum static absorption capacity could reach about 250 mg Mo per g HMMA. The absorption equilibrium can be attained quickly within 10 mins. At initial Mo ions concertation of 10,000 mg L-1, the breakthrough capacity was determined to be around 200 mg Mo per g HMMA. Additional, absorption mechanism results indicated that Mo ions reacts strongly with a hydroxyl on the surface of gamma-Al2O3 and an adjacent Al atom, simultaneously. A 9.15 mCi (339 MBq) Mo-99 generator was prepared and evaluated its performance for over one week. The recovery of Tc-99m could reach about 89% with favorable radionuclidic, radiochemical and chemical purity for nuclear medicine application. HMMA has a potential application prospect for the preparation of low specific activity (LSA) Mo-99/Tc-99m generator.
