A chelating resin was synthesized by incorporating thiosemicarbazide into Amberlite IRC-50, a weakly acidic polymer. Astatine radionuclides produced by alpha-irradiating bismuth oxide were separated using the newly synthesized chelating resin. The resin showed high selectivity for astatine. The adsorbed astatine was recovered using 0.1M EDTA at pH approximately 10.
