Recovery of Fission Products by Fixation on Inorganic Adsorbents

  • Chapter
Recent Developments in Ion Exchange

Abstract

The sorption of cesium and strontium from radioactive waste was studied on several inorganic absorbents. Cesium can be retained with a high efficiency on zinc or nickel feirocyanides. The best results on columns were obtained for products with a high kinetics of fixation: mainly mixed alkaline-zinc ferrocyanides and mixed alkaline-nickel ferrocyanides with small crystals.The fixation of strontium was studied on polyantimonic acid and on two types of phosphatoantimonic acids. At low levels of strontium the best efficiency is achieved with the first product. One type of phosphatoantimonic acid with a layered structure is attractive, if a larger quantity of strontium has to be retained.
