SORPTION BEHAVIOR OF PERTECHNETATE ON REILLEX(tm)-HPQ ANION EXCHANGE RESIN FROM NITRIC ACID SOLUTION

Abstract

ABSTRACT The distribution coefficients are reported for 99TcO4on the nitrate form of Reillex™-HPQ anion exchange resin. The nitric acid concentration was varied from 10.0 M to 9.80 x 10-4M at 20°C with a nominal pertechnetate loading of <0.03 mole % resin. Equilibrium was attained in 30 minutes or less.
