The objectives of this slide presentation were to:
detn U and Ra removal efficiencies;
detn resin capacities for SAC SBA;
find optimum % of SBA resin;
stratified or mixed bed?;
define minimum SBA bed depth for U
removal; and,
compare NaCl and KCl as regenerants. The presentation outlines information on uranium removal by ion
exchange:
use MR SBA w/wo SAC;
resin selection not critical;
BV run w pure anion: 300,000 BV mo;
SO42- will shorten run length;
pH not critical in 6-9 range;
typical cyclic operation
30,000--50,000 BV (60- 00 days),
regen with sat'd. NaCl at 20 lbs/ft3 (4/ ), and
low leakage even w incomplete regen. The presentation provides an explanation of how radium moves through the resin during sodium softening, along with analysis methods and solutions to Ra leakage. Includes tables, figures.
