A new method for the reduction of no-carrier-added [ C]carbon dioxide into [ C]carbon monoxide ([ C]CO) is described, in which the reductant (zinc) is supported on fused silica particles. Using this setup, which allows for a reduction temperature (485°C) well above the melting point for zinc (420°C), radiochemical yields of up to 96% (decay-corrected) were obtained. A slight decrease in radiochemical yield was observed upon repeated [ C]CO productions (93 ± 3%, n = 20). The methodology is convenient and efficient and provides a straightforward path to no-carrier-added production of [ C]CO.
