Advanced separation of harmful metals from industrial waste effluents by ion exchange

Several advanced separation methods for separating harmful metals from nuclear waste solutions or metallurgical waste effluents are discussed. Caesium-137 was separated from nuclear waste solutions by hexacyanoferrate ion exchangers, strontium-90 by a modified titanium oxide ion exchanger, and cobal...

Description
Summary:Several advanced separation methods for separating harmful metals from nuclear waste solutions or metallurgical waste effluents are discussed. Caesium-137 was separated from nuclear waste solutions by hexacyanoferrate ion exchangers, strontium-90 by a modified titanium oxide ion exchanger, and cobalt-60 by sorption on active carbons or by precipitation as sulphide. Chromium, nickel and zinc were separated from metallurgical waste effluents using a fibrous exchanger (FIBAN AK-22), sodium titanate and an aminophosphonate chelating resin (Duolite C467), respectively. The synthesis and characterization of ion exchangers are discussed with particular reference to the inorganic exchangers.
