Recovery of cesium and strontium from acidic HLW from power reactors with inorganic ion exchangers

Description

Recovery of Cs-137 and Sr-90 from 1AW acidity waste solution have been studied by using Titanium Phosphate-Ammonium Molybdophosphate (TiP-AMP) and Polyantimonic acid (PAA). These inorganic ion exchangers show favorable performance for the adsorption and elution of Cs-137 and Sr-90. The product, Cs-137 has more than 99% radioactive purity and there is a high decontamination factor for Ru-103, Zr-95, Sr-90, Na-22, Am-241, but less so for Rb-86 and Ce-144. The product, Sr-90 has more than 98% radioactive purity and there is a high decontamination for Ru-103, Zr-95, Cs-137, Na-22 and Am-241, but less so for Ce-144. A design of the recovery process of Cs-137 and Sr-90 is suggested from the individual experimental results with TiP-AmP and PAA. (author)
