IRON SULFIDE DISSOLVER
An aqueous iron sulfide dissolver including zinc, chromium, a methoxybenzoic acid, formic acid, acetic acid, and hydrochloric acid. The iron sulfide dissolver is made by combining these components, and dissolves compounds including iron sulfide upon contact. Evolved hydrogen sulfide reacts with the methoxybenzoic acid to yield solubilized methanethiol as an intermediate product, which is further oxidized to yield dissolved dimethyl disulfide.

Rapid Isolation of Cyclotron-Produced Gallium-68
Methods for rapid isolation of radionuclides (e.g., .sup.68Ga) produced using a cyclotron and methods for recycling of the parent isotope (e.g., .sup.68Zn) are disclosed. In one version of the method, a solution including a radionuclide (e.g., .sup.68Ga) is created from a target including cations (e.g., .sup.68Zn). The solution including the radionuclide is passed through a first column including a sorbent comprising a hydroxamate resin to adsorb the radionuclide on the sorbent, and the radionuclide is eluted off the sorbent. The cations (e.g., .sup.68Zn) are recovered from a recovery solution that has passed through the first column by passing the recovery solution through a second column including a second sorbent comprising a cation exchange resin.
