Sk. Samanta, HYDRATED TITANIUM(IV) OXIDE AS A GRANULAR INORGANIC SORBENT FOR REMOVAL OF RADIOSTRONTIUM .1. BATCH EQUILIBRATION STUDIES, Journal of radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry, 209(1), 1996, pp. 235-242
The sorption of radiostrontium on hydrated titanium(IV) oxide was stud
ied in batch equilibration experiments. The strontium uptake capacity
was determined. Batch distribution coefficients were measured as funct
ion of solution pH as well as strontium and sodium concentration. The
effect of electron beam irradiation on strontium sorption was also exa
mined, ?he results are of significance in connection with the removal
of radiostrontium traces from alkaline sodium salt-loaded wastes of re
processing plant origin.
