$$^{67}$$Cu has being attracting attention as a potential candidate for radiopharmaceutical. A high-purity $$^{67}$$Cu can be isolated from an irradiated $$^{68}$$ZnO using fast neutrons generated via $$^{nat}$$C(d,n) reaction with only a few RIs as side products. This study was aimed at achieving a higher purity for the final $$^{67}$$Cu by separating $$^{65}$$Ni amongst other side products. As a result $$^{67}$$Cu free from $$^{65}$$Ni was obtained with high radionuclide purity with minimum loss of time during the separation.
