Abstract

This paper reports some ion-exchange column experiments, carried out to determine the breakthrough curves of137Cs and89Sr radioisotopes on a commercially available inorganic ion-exchange sorbent of the amorphous zirconium phosphate type. A dynamic capacity of about 3–4 meq·g−1 was observed.
