Abstract

The 4-vinylpyridine-based porous resins (4VP–DVB and 4VP–DVBQ) were synthesized to adsorb 99Tc from radioactive waste. The radiation stability of the synthesized resins were investigated in air, water, HCl, and HNO3 mediums. The radiolytic degradation of resins was evaluated by the total organic carbon analysis. The weakly basic resin (4VP–DVB) and strongly basic resin (4VP–DVBQ) showed a remarkable resistance to radiation in HCl and HNO3 solutions respectively. Moreover, adsorption behavior of irradiated 4VP–DVB and 4VP–DVBQ resins toward 99Tc was studied by the batch experimental method.
