- Summary:
- Monosodium titanate (MST), a hydrous metal oxide sorbent, is the baseline material for the removal of 90Sr and alpha-emitting radionuclides (principally 238Pu, 239Pu, 240Pu and 237Np) from alkaline waste solutions generated during the processing of irradiated nuclear materials at the Savannah River Site. This material exhibits excellent performance characteristics for strontium removal. Plutonium removal is also good, but problematic at the estimated bonding concentration. We are currently developing new inorganic materials for improved sorption characteristics. These materials include sodium nonatitanates, pharmacosiderites and heteropolyniobates. We will present results evaluating the performance of these materials with simulated and actual high level nuclear waste solutions.
