Abstract
The uptake of strontium has been studied using two commercially available c helating resins containing iminodiacetic acid functional groups. The resins have been characterized with respect to moisture content, swelling behavio ur, ion exchange and chelating capacities. The effect of pH, sodium and str ontium concentrations on the uptake of strontium has been determined by car rying out batch equilibration tests. The suitability of using such a resin for removal of radiostrontium from radioactive waste solutions has also bee n tested in laboratory-scale column experiments.
