Ames, Jr, L L

A group of several zeolites, including Type A, clinoptilolite, erionite, phillipsite, and alumina-silica gel, was examined for the ability to selectively remove small amounts of strontium from aqueous wastes containing high concentrations of sodium salts. The methods used and the zeolite strontium selectivity data from this study are reported. Type A zeolite was the most selective of the group for strontium, but more than a simple, reversible exchange reaction was responsible for this strontium selectivity. (auth)
