Mercury removal from supernate using ion exchange

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5440743
;
The chelating cation exchange resin, Duolite ES-465, has been demonstrated efficient and effective in removal of mercury from both simulated and actual, diluted Tank 30H supernate, indicating that a properly designed column of this resin should be able to remove essentially all of the mercury from that stream. There is no apparent negative physical or chemical reaction by the resin to the substantial hydroxide concentration in supernate; the high concentration of sodium actually has a beneficial effect in that it preferentially displaces cesium and strontium from the resin. There is no significant retention of plutonium or ruthenium by the resin.
