description <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: -3.3pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: -5.3pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 115%; mso-hyphenate: auto; tab-stops: 468.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">The present study deals with the synthesis and characterization of ZrO<sub>2</sub> nanomaterial which can be used as an adsorbent for Molybdenum-99 (<sup>99</sup>Mo). The adsorbent can potentially be utilized as the material for <sup>99</sup>Mo/<sup>99m</sup>Tc generator column. Using the sol-gel method, monoclinic nanocrystalline zirconia was synthesized from zirconium oxychloride in isopropyl alcohol reacted with ammonium hydroxide solution in isopropyl alcohol resulting in a white gel. The gel was subsequently refluxed for 12 hours at ~95°C and pH at ~4 and then dried at 100°C. The drying gel was then calcined at 600°C for two hours. Meanwhile the orthorhombic nanocrystalline zirconia was obtained by reacting zirconium oxychloride solution with 2.5 M ammonium hydroxide solution which resulted in a white gel. The gel was then refluxed for 24 hours at ~95°C and pH at ~11 and then dried at 100°C. The drying gel was then calcined at 600°C for two hours. These materials were characterized using FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). The Scherrer method is used for determination of crystallite size. The FT-IR spectra for both materials show absorption peak at 450-500 cm<sup>-1</sup> which are attributed to Zr-O bond. The XRD pattern of monoclinic nanocrystalline form shows crystalline peaks at 2θ regions of 28.37°, 31.65°, 34°, 36°, and 50.3° with average crystallite size of 2.68 nm. Meanwhile, the XRD pattern of orthorhombic nanocrystalline form shows crystalline peaks at 2θ regions of 30°, 35°, 50°, and 60° with average crystallite size of 0.98 nm. The TEM micrograph indicates that the zirconia nanomaterials prepared were quite uniform in size and shape.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: -3.3pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: -5.3pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 115%; mso-hyphenate: auto; tab-stops: 468.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><em>Received: 1<span style="color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size: 14.4px;">2 November 2015; Revised: </span></span><span style="font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'MS Mincho'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">9 Septem</span><span style="font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'MS Mincho'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">ber 2016</span></em><em style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size: 14.4px;">; Accepted: </span></span></em></span><em><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 9pt;">20 September 2016</span></em></p>
