Removal of radiocobalt from aqueous solutions by inorganic exchangers
Description
The sorption of radiocobalt from aqueous as well as organic solvents by natural and treated clays was investigated. The effect of many factors, such as time, pH, carrier concentration, etc., was studied. It was found that the uptake is maximum in neutral or slightly alkaline solutions. The conclusion is that natural clays are well suited for the removal of radioactive cobalt with slight, if any modification. These clays may be considered superior to synthetic exchangers for the removal of 60Co, if the availability and prices of the former are taken into account. (author) 25 refs.; 6 figs.; 6 tabs
