SuperLig(R) 644 Resin Accelerated Aging Study
SuperLig(R) 644 (Trademark of IBC Advanced Technologies, American Fork, Utah) is an elutable resin that contains covalently bound macrocyclic ligands with high affinity for cesium in alkaline solution in the presence of sodium and potassium. The resin has been selected as the baseline ion exchange material for cesium removal from Hanford tank waste solutions. Extensive experimental investigations conducted at the Savannah River Technology Center (Aiken, South Carolina) and Battelle Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (Hanford, Washington) with simulated Hanford tank waste solutions indicated that SuperLig(R) 644 resin has adequate density and low-cycle physical durability, sufficient chemical stability, sufficient cesium sorption capacity and selectivity. Radioactive Hanford Site tank waste samples from tanks 241-AN-103, 241-AN-102 and 241-AZ-102 confirmed the simulant results.
