Abstract

Ion-exchange experiments were carried out for the removal of137Cs, and90Sr/90Y radioisotopes by different cationic forms of amorphous zirconium phosphate. The effect of temperature and concentration on the percent uptake and distribution coefficients (K d ) values (milli-equivalents of ion per gram of exchanger/milli-equivalents of ion per ml of solution) were determined. Experiments were made in simulated pond water at pH 11.4.
