Abstract

Radiostrontium can be removed from milk by stirring it with a cation exchange resin saturated with calcium. Successive treatment of milk with the resin will remove 95% of added strontium. Strontium which enters milk via the physiological mechanism is also removed by this process. Treatment of milk with a calcium-saturated resin raises the calcium content and reduces the potassium and sodium content of the milk.Resin that is equilibrated with a solution of CaCl₂, KCl, and NaCl which has the same cation proportions as does milk is effective in removing strontium and cesium and does not alter the calcium, potassium, or sodium content of the milk.
