Preparation and Use of Dried Monosodium Titanate

This report assesses the feasibility of handling MST in the SWPF and ARP facility as a dry solid versus that as an aqueous slurry. MST is an inorganic sorbent material that exhibits high selectivity for strontium and actinide elements in the presence of strongly alkaline and high sodium containing salt solutions. In addition to this assessment, the effects of drying on MST properties including strontium and actinide removal performance were also tested. This work represents two of the subtasks identified in the scope of work for the DOE funded project to develop improved sorbent materials for strontium/actinide separations at SRS
