Anion exchange of metal complexes—XXI Sorption of uranyl chloride from anhydrous methanolic, ethanolic and isopropanolic hydrogen chloride solution

Removal of radioactive nuclides from effluents is important for the safe disposal of the radioactive waste. In the present work ion exchange studies were carried out using simulated alpha active organic liquid scintillator and ethyl alcohol waste solutions containing Pu and Am using different resins. The time of equilibration and batch data were obtained under different conditions for individual resins as well as their mixtures. The indigenously developed Macroporous bifunctional phosphinic acid (MPBPA) resin was found to be suitable for the removal of alpha activity mainly due to Pu and Amberlite IR-120 and Biorad 50W × 8 for removal of Am. The results indicated that the presence of alcohol in the scintillator solution helps in increasing the distribution ratio. Experiments were carried out with column containing either MPBPA resin alone or with additional resin bed of Amberlite IR-120 using active organic liquid scintillator waste (with and without dilution with alcohol). Studies were also carried out on alcoholic waste generated in the laboratory during the washing of the used liquid scintillator vials. The alcohol after removal of activity either could be reused or could be disposed off directly as a ‘potentially’ active waste.
