Radiochemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

The natural minerals clinoptilolite and tripoli were used for sorption treatment of liquid radioactive waste (LRW) to remove 137Cs and 90Sr. The efficiency of sorption recovery of these radionuclides with finely dispersed mineral sorbents under static conditions was studied in relation to the sorption time, pH, size of mineral granules, sorbent amount, salt content and chemical composition of solutions, and number of successive sorption steps. The distribution coefficient of radionuclides between the sorbent and aqueous phase and the sorption capacity of sorbents for radionuclides were determined. It was found that treatment of real salt-containing LRW from the Leipunskii Institute of Energy Physics, State Scientific Center of the Russian Federation, with the natural sorbents decreased their activity by 2–3 orders of magnitude owing to recovery of 137Cs and 90Sr.
