Title: The Effect of Carbonate, Oxalate and Peroxide on the Cesium Loading of Ionsiv IE-910 and IE-911

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/773108· OSTI ID:773108

The Savannah River Site (SRS) continues to examine three processes for the removal of radiocesium from high-level waste. One option involves the use of crystalline silicotitanate (CST) as a non-elutable ion exchange medium. The process uses CST in its engineered form - IONSIV IE-911 made by UOP, LLC. - in a column to contact the liquid waste. Cesium exchanges with sodium ions residing inside the CST particles. The design disposes of the cesium-loaded CST by vitrification within the Defense Waste Processing Facility.
