This effort falls under the technetium management initiative and will provide data for those who will make decisions regarding the handling and disposition of technetium. To that end, the objective of this effort is to challenge Purolite®l A530E against a double-shell tank simulant from tank 241-AN-105 spiked with pertechnetate (Tc04} The Purolite ® A530E is commercially available and is currently being used at the 200 West Pump and Treat Groundwater Treatment Plant to remove pertechnetate. It has been demonstrated that Purolite® A530E is highly effective in removing Tc04' from a water matrix. Purolite® A530E is the commercial product of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Biquat'M2 resin. Further work has demonstrated that technetium-loaded A530E achieves a leachability index in Cast Stone of 12.5 (RPP-RPT-39195, Assessment of Technetium Leachability in Cement-Stabilized Basin 43 Groundwater Brine). When the batch contacted with various dilutions of spiked AN-105 simulant, the Purolite® A530E resin demonstrated the following distribution coefficients (Kd): Distribution Coefficients as a Function of Sodium Molarity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
