A method was developed for the treatment of radioactive waste waters by chemical coagulation and ion exchange. Coagulation with lime, ferrous sulfate, and trisodium phosphate in an upward-flow sludge-blanket tank removes about 99% of the alpha-emitters and 89% of the beta-emitters. Residual activity is due largely to cesium, with traces of strontium and ruthenium, and this is removed by ion exchange in vermiculite columns; crude vermiculite is cheap and expendable and does not therefore need to be regenerated. If the waste waters contain large amounts of cesium, some of this can be removed before ion exchange by precipitation on copper ferrocyanide floc. The effiuert can finally be treated by electrolytic de-ionization. (Publ. Health Eng. Abstr.).
