REMOVAL OF RADIO-ACTIVE STRONTIUM AND CESIUM FROM MILK

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4031548
A simple method is given for removing Sr and. Cs from milk without altering the natural flavor or composition of the milk. The method consists of treating the milk with a cation exchange resin, e.g.. Dowex 50 W, which is saturated with Ca, K, and Na, whereby only Sr and Cs are absorbed. The resin may be prepared by incorporating in it Ca, K, and Na in the same weight ratio as that found in milk, 100 parts contaminated milk agitated with 1 part resin for 2.5 min resulted in 58 and 92% removal of Sr and Cs for one and two treatments, respectively.
