The authors investigated the performance of permanganate treatment for the removal of strontium and actinides from actual high-level waste. Researchers also conducted comparison tests with monosodium titanate (MST) as a means of evaluating the permanganate performance. Tests utilized a Tank 37H/44F composite waste solution. Personnel significantly increased the concentration of alpha emitting actinides in the waste by the addition of acidic americium/curium solution (F-Canyon Tank 17.1 solution), which contained a significant quantity of plutonium, and neptunium-237 stock solution. Tests examined three permanganate treatment options.
