Testing of hexacyanoferrates for decontamination of radioactive wastewaters at Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Journal Article · · Separation Science and Technology
Liquid low-level radioactive waste (LLLW) and slightly contaminated process wastewater at Oak Ridge National Laboratory was tested for removal of {sup 137}Cs using several transition-metal hexacyanoferrate compounds. The method being developed is scavenging precipitation, in which ion exchange particles are mixed with the solutions and allowed to settle. Decontamination factors of 35 for simulated LLLW and 12 for process wastewater were achieved.
