Abstract
Data are cited on the purification of sewage from radioactive isotopes by methods of coagulation and ion exchange.
It is shown that by the successive use of the indicated rnethods, low-activity sewage may be purified to the maximum perrnissible concentration (MPC) for all radioactive isotopes. The removal of radioactive isotopes from waste solutions by ion exchange resins is directly dependent on the salt composition of the solutions.
