NIOBIUM-95 - Introduction
Niobium-95(Nb-95) is one of the isotopes of niobium. Its properties include:
1. Radioactivity: Nb-95 is a radioactive isotope with a half-life of about 35 days.
2. Radioactive decay: Nb-95 is converted into stable molybdenum -95(Mo-95) through beta decay.
3. surface electron capture: Nb-95 can also be converted into stable Zr-95 by electron capture decay.
Niobium -95 has some uses in a number of applications, including:
1. Radioactive tracer: Due to its radioactive properties, Nb-95 is used as a radioactive tracer to study the movement of substances in organisms.
2. Radiotherapy: Nb-95 can be used for radiotherapy, for the treatment of certain types of cancer.
3. Nuclear research: Nb-95 also has some uses in nuclear research, such as as radioactive sources in nuclear physics experiments.
In terms of preparation method, Nb-95 can be obtained by using neutron bomb to bombard niobium -94(Nb-94) in an accelerator. Nb-94 can be obtained by radioactive decay of the natural isotope of niobium.
Regarding safety information, since Nb-95 are radioactive isotopes, they must be handled with care and follow safe handling procedures for radioactive materials. Direct contact should be avoided, radiation exposure minimized, and inhalation or ingestion avoided. The Nb-95 must be used in accordance with relevant safety and security guidelines and in accordance with national and regional regulations.
