Abstract

Novel organic resins that achieve high selectivities for both cesium and strontium have been synthesized. They are condensation polymers of resorcinol and formaldehyde withattached chelating groups. Their column performance compares favorably with that of commercially available resins for either cesium or strontium removal. By combining Cs+ and Sr2+ removal in the same bed, these resins can significantly reduce the size and complexity of proposed facilities for processing defense high-level waste.
