Investigation of the utility of some synthetic magnesiam silicates in radioactive waste treatment

SATYA BRAT, N S SUNDER RAJAN

Abstract


Three products of *stevensite' type of clay minerals have been synthesised using different SiQa/MgO molecular ratios at atmospheric pressure and boiling water temperature. Ion exchange studies have been carried out on these synthetic products with a view to utilise them in the treatment of low and intermediate levels of radioactive liquid wastes.

Keywords


Stevensite; ion exchange; radio active wastes; sorption; phyllitic minerals; decontamination.
