Abstract

This paper describes the use of IBC’s AnaLig® Sr-01 and AnaLig® Tc-02 molecular recognition technology products to effectively and selectively separate and recover strontium and technetium from radioactive waste solutions. The use and effectiveness of AnaLig® Sr-01 and AnaLig® Tc-02 are also compared with traditional commonly applied methods using Eichrom’s Sr Resin and TEVA Resin. Different concentrations of Ca2+, Ba2+, Pb2+, and K+ interfering ions on Sr2+ sorption were tested. Methods for the determination of 90Sr and 99Tc with emphasis on avoiding so called “matrix effects”, maximizing chemical recoveries, selectivity, minimizing time of analyses and reaching the lowest LLD were modified or developed.
