Ion exchange of several radionuclides on the hydrous crystalline silicotitanate, UOP IONSIV IE-911

The crystalline silicotitanate, UOP IONSIV IE-911, is a proven material for removing radionuclides from a wide variety of waste streams. It is superior for removing several radionuclides from the highly alkaline solutions typical of DOE wastes. This laboratory previously developed an equilibrium model applicable to complex solutions for IE-910 (the power form of the granular IE-911), and more recently, the authors have developed several single component ion-exchange kinetic models for predicting column breakthrough curves and batch reactor concentration histories. In this paper, the authors model ion-exchange column performance using effective diffusivities determined from batch kinetic experiments. This technique is preferable because the batch experiments are easier, faster, and cheaper to perform than column experiments. They also extend these ideas to multicomponent systems. Finally, they evaluate the ability of the equilibrium model to predict data for IE-911.
