Purification of alkaline liquid high-level radioactive waste from cesium using Fersal-MD sorbent

Abstract

The paper presents the results of an experimental study on the static sorption extraction of cesium from a real solution of alkaline liquid high-level waste using Fersal-MD inorganic finely dispersed sorbent. Three-stage sorption with repeated use of sorbent was carried out; the solution purification coefficients were determined. An application of the method for industrial use was experimentally assessed. Fersal and Fersal-MD sorbents were compared for use in the technology of extracting cesium from alkaline high-level waste.
