The isolation of the fission product cesium from high-level alkaline liquid waste is studied with inorganic ion-exchange materials. High separation and concentration factors can be obtained using sodium silicotitanate (CST). The leaching behaviour of cesium from CST was studied in clay porewater and Quinary brine at 90 °C. It is shown that cesium leaching in Quinary brine can be drastically reduced by thermal treatment of cesium loaded CST above 1000 °C. To this end, neutralisation of the ion exchange material before heating is required in order to reduce cesium volatility. It is concluded that CST is a good candidate material for geological disposal of the fission product cesium.

Methods for the removal of radiocobalt from an ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) complex of Co(II) (aqueous solution containing 10 μM Co(II) and 10 μM or 50 μM EDTA traced with 57Co) are presented. The studies examined a combination of different oxidation methods and the sorption of 57Co on a selective inorganic ion exchange material, CoTreat. The oxidation methods used were ultraviolet (UV) irradiation with and without hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), as well as ozonation alone or in combination with UV irradiation. Also, the possible contribution of Degussa P25 TiO2 photocatalyst to degradation of EDTA was studied. The best results for the equimolar solution of Co(II) and EDTA were achieved by combining ozonation, UV irradiation, Degussa P25 TiO2 and CoTreat, with approximately 94% sorption of 57Co. High values for the 57Co sorption were also achieved by ozonation (∼88%) and UV irradiation (∼90%) in the presence of CoTreat and Degussa P25 TiO2. A surplus of EDTA over Co(II) was also tested using 10 μM Co(II) and 50 μM EDTA. Only a slight decrease, to ∼88% sorption of 57Co, was detected compared to the value (∼90%) obtained with 10 μM EDTA.

The inorgano-organic ion-exchanger, tin(IV) tungstoselenate–pyridine, has been prepared by derivatizing the inorganic ion-exchange material, tin(IV) tungstoselenate, with an organic moiety, pyridine. Chemical studies showed the tin(IV) tungstoselenate/pyridine mole ratio to be 806.5:1, indicating a weak sorption of pyridine on to the surface of the tin(IV) tungstoselenate. The material was characterized on the basis of SEM, FT-IR, TGA and DTA studies. The uptake of Cu2+, Ni2+, Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions was found to be much higher on tin(IV) tungstoselenate–pyridine relative to tin(IV) tungstoselenate. The uptake of these metal ions as a function of loading and pH was also studied when the following affinity order was observed: Cu2+ > Co2+ > Ni2+ > Fe2+ > Fe3+. The uptake of metal ions increased initially with loading but became constant at higher loading. The most favourable pH range was found to be that between 3.5 and 4.5.

The MgMn0.25Ti0.75O3 was synthesized by a coprecipitation/thermal crystallization method. The extraction/insertion reaction with this material was investigation by X-ray, saturation capacity of exchange, and Kd measurement. The acid treatments of MgMn0.25Ti0.75O3 caused Mg2+ extractions of more than 74%, while the dissolutions of Mn4+ and Ti4+ were less than 8.2%. The experimental results have proved that the acid-treated sample has a capacity of exchange 9.5mmol•g-1 for Li+ in the solution.
