  • 1. Instituto de Pesquisas Energeticas e Nucleares (IPEN), Sao Paulo, SP (Brazil)

Description

This work describes the synthesis of ammonium phosphotungstate into the Amberlite IRA 900 anion exchange resin. Ammonium phosphotungstate-resin beads have been prepared and tested as ion exchange columns for cesium removal from nitric acid solutions. Cesium-137 may easily be desorbed with ammonium nitrate solutions. A good kinetics of ion exchange was observed. (author)
