Ap. Ryzhenkov et Yv. Egorov, SORPTION OF SR-90 FROM FRESH-WATERS DURING SULFATE MODIFICATION OF BARIUM MANGANITE, Radiochemistry, 37(6), 1995, pp. 508-512
Recovery of strontium-90 with barium manganite from fresh waters (natu
ral fresh waters of open basins) can be increased by adding agents tha
t contain sulfate ions and thus modify the sorbent and chemically bind
the sorbate. The treatment results in a heterogeneous anion-exchange
transformation of barium manganite into barium sulfate-manganese dioxi
de and in simultaneous adsorptive coprecipitation of strontium sulfate
(microcomponent).
