Recovery of Radioactive Cesium on Titanium Phosphate

The recovery of cesium from simulated nuclear wastes is performed easily by adsorption on titanium phosphate and elution either with ammonium nitrate or ammonium chloride. The reproducibility of synthesis of the ion exchanger on pilot-plant scale is excellent, and a sufficient number of cycles (adsorption-elution), at least eight, can be achieved without any decrease in performance.
