The new molecules in the form of microspheres 89Y2O3 obtained by modified INCT sol-gel method for liver cancer treatment

In the Sol-Gel Laboratory (INCT) on the basis many years of experience in the preparation new generation of ceramic materials has been taken study for preparation microspheres Y2O3 to treatment hepatic malignancies cancer. Using a combination of patented processes (INCT Process, patent PL-83484 and Complex Sol-Gel Process-CSGP, patent PL-172618) in one method for the production of spherical particles with diameters 10 to 100μm obtained 89Y2O3 microspheres (decision to grant a patent by the Polish Patent Office of November 19, 2014 for patent application P-394645 in 2011). Microspheres after fractionating were study to physicochemical properties and were tested stability in the environment physiological saline, serum and blood. In order to obtain the properties of the radiopharmaceutical 89Y2O3 microspheres were irradiated in the reactor Maria in the reaction 89Y (n, γ) 90Y

Application of Pt/Al2O3 catalysts produced by sol-gel process to uranyl ion reduction

Various kinds of active alumina supports were obtained by the Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology (INCT) sol-gel process in the following steps: (1) preparation of alumina sols by extraction of nitrates with Primene JMT from aluminium nitrate solution; (2) gelation to spherical particles (with diameter 100 m2/g at 500°C. The powders were then impregnated with chloroplatinic acid and recalcined at 500°C. Catalysts were also prepared by direct gelation of alumina sol containing hydroplatinic acid followed by steps (3) and (4). Pt/Al2O3 catalysts were used for the reduction of 1M UO2(NO3)2 - 0.5M HCOOH solution with hydrogen at atmospheric pressure. The course of the reduction was controlled analytically and by measuring the U(VI)/U(IV) redox potential. It was concluded that the catalysts obtained by impregnation of the supports prepared from nitrate stabilized gels exhibit the best activity and stability

Preparation of lithium titanate by sol-gel method

Medium sized spherical particles of Li2TiO3 (with diameters below 100 mi m) can be prepared from peroxy lithium titanate solution (stabilized with citric acid) by a modified INCT variant of the sol-gel process. The process consists of the following main steps: (I) formation of aqueous phase emulsion in 2-ethylhexanol-1 containing the surfactants 1v/o SPAN-80 and 1v/o Ethomen S-15 (EH); (II) gelation of emulsion drops by extraction of water with partially dehydrated EH; (III) filtration and washing with carbon tetrachloride or acetone; (IV) non-destructive thermal treatment. The tritium release from sol-gel process preparation of Li2TiO3 micro-spheres was found very close to that observed for other traditional material however, the new process is more efficient than other processes because of the morphology of the sintered specimens
