Cesium ion exchange

Thus, by increasing the ZSM-5 crystal size from. 02y to 2y, very high selectivities were obtained even after several days stirring in a batch reactor. A similar increase was observed upon cesium ion exchange, which served to accentuate the diffusional rate differences between the two xylene isomers. [Pg.133]

The properties of hydrated titanium dioxide as an ion-exchange (qv) medium have been widely studied (51—55). Separations include those of alkaH and alkaline-earth metals, zinc, copper, cobalt, cesium, strontium, and barium. The use of hydrated titanium dioxide to separate uranium from seawater and also for the treatment of radioactive wastes from nuclear-reactor installations has been proposed (56). [Pg.120]

The residue is leached to give cesium sulfate solution, which can be converted to cesium chloride by ion exchange on Dowex 50 resin and elution with 10% HCl, treatment using ammonia or lime, to precipitate the alurninum, or by solvent extraction, followed by purification at neutral pH using hydrogen peroxide or ammonia. [Pg.376]

Other Applications. The refractive index of siUcate or borosiUcate glass can be modified by the addition of cesium oxide, introduced as cesium nitrate or carbonate. Glass surfaces can be made resistant to corrosion or breakage by surface ion exchange with cesium compound melts or solutions. This process can also be used for the production of optical wave guides (61). [Pg.378]

Another application for adsorption of metal impurities is in the nuclear power industry. Radioactive cesium is one of the compounds that is difficult to remove from radioactive waste. This is because ordinary resins and zeolites do not effectively adsorb radioactive cesium. In 1997, lONSlV lE-911 crystalline silicotitan-ate (CST) ion exchangers were developed and effectively used to clean up radioactive wastes in the Melton Valley tanks at Oak Ridge [268, 269], CST was discovered [270] by researchers at Sandia National Laboratories and Texas A M University, with commercial manufacture carried out by UOP. [Pg.191]

Process pH, sodium, calcium, and nitrate concentrations, plugging of the ion exchange column, lot variance, and the presence of binders can affect process efficiency. lonsiv IE-911 does not remove anionic radioactive ions such as technetium. The resins are designed for one-time use and must be replaced when loaded. The waste acceptance criteria at the resin disposal facility may limit the loading of the CST resin. Size constraints of the cesium removal system (CRS) may limit system flow rates. [Pg.1102]

UOP molecular sieves (UOP) has developed the lonsiv family of ion exchange resins for the extraction of radionuclides from wastewater. lonsiv TIE-96 is composed of a titanium-coated zeolite (Ti-zeolite) and is used to separate plutonium, strontium, and cesium from alkaline supernatant and sludge wash solutions. The technology was developed by Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) for use at the West Valley, New York, nuclear waste facility. The technology is commercially available. [Pg.1103]

Therefore, based on available literature, the following sorption results were expected (l) as a result of the smectite minerals, the sorption capacity of the red clay would be primarily due to ion exchange associated with the smectites and would be on the order of 0.8 to I.5 mi Hi equivalents per gram (2) also as a result of the smectite minerals, the distribution coefficients for nuclides such as cesium, strontium, barium, and cerium would be between 10 and 100 ml/gm for solution-phase concentrations on the order of 10"3 mg-atom/ml (3) as a result of the hydrous oxides, the distribution coefficients for nuclides such as strontium, barium, and some transition metals would be on the order of 10 ml/gm or greater for solution-phase concentrations on the order of 10 7 mg-atom/ml and less (U) also as a result of the hydrous oxides, the solution-phase pH would strongly influence the distribution coefficients for most nuclides except the alkali metals (5) as a result of both smectites and hydrous oxides being present, the sorption equilibrium data would probably reflect the influence of multiple sorption mechanisms. As discussed below, the experimental results were indeed similar to those which were expected. [Pg.274]

If those sorption capacities were due to ion exchange, it would be expected that preparation of the cesium- and barium-saturated clays would have caused various counter ions such as those of sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium to be desorbed from the clay and to appear in. the 1.0 M solutions. The total... [Pg.274]

For both cesium and barium sorption, there is reasonable agreement between the total concentrations of desorbed species and the ion-exchange capacities determined by isotopic redistribution. The small differences which exist could easily be due to the precision in the elemental analyses. (Also, the experimental technique would not have detected desorption of hydrogen ions.) The solid-phase concentrations of sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium. [Pg.275]

For each nuclide studied, the sorption distribution coefficients appeared to result from a minimum of two separate mechanisms. In all cases, one mechanism appears to be an ion-exchange phenomena associated with the silicate phases and appears to have a relatively much larger sorption capacity than the other mechanism. In the case of cesium (and probably rubidium) the second mechanism appears to also be related to the silicate phases and may or may not be an ion-exchange phenomena. However, for the other elements studied, the second mechanism appears to be related to the hydrous iron and manganese oxides and again may or may not be an ion-exchange process. [Pg.288]
