Sn. Kalmykov et al., EXTRACTION OF RADIONUCLIDES FROM NATURAL-WATERS USING ALGINATES, Journal of radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry, 229(1-2), 1998, pp. 95-97
Fourteen samples of wastes from algal plants were tested for possible
analytical and/or technological use for Sr-90 and Cs-137 extraction fr
om natural waters. Sorption experiments were carried out in static and
dynamic conditions. It was noted that the examined sorbents posses hi
gh affinity for Sr2+. The sorption capacity reached the value of 4.72.
10(-3) mole/g. Simple and express analytical procedures for Sr-90 dete
rmination were developed and tested in the Dnieper estuary region.
