INCORPORATION OF ION-EXCHANGE IN THE HOT SEMIWORKS SOLVENT EXTRACTION STRONTIUM FACILITY

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4824727

Studies of Dowex 50W 12-X 40-60 mesh resin were conducted to determine the feasibility of an ion-exchange installation in the Sr purification solvent extraction facility. At a 50% Sr breakthrough, a citrate feed at pH 3.5 to 2.5 will permit a Sr loading of 17 to 40 g/l while complexing Ce; a decontamination factor of 20 for Ce under these conditions appears possible. The radiation stability of citric acid up to 4 x 10/sup 8/ r was found to be adequate. The elution of Sr from the resin column will permit a Sr product concentration of 5 to 20 g/l. (D.L.C.)
