ION EXCHANGE BEHAVIOUR OF CHELATING RESIN DOWEX A-1WITH ACTINIDES AND LANTHANIDES

Abstract
Adsorption studies of several actinides and lanthanides have been carried out by chelating ion exchange resin Dowex A-1. The metal ions studied were Pu4+, Zr4+, UO2 ++, Am3+, Cm3+, Bk3+, Cf3+, Eu3+, and Tm3+. The separation factors between consecutive trivalent actinides and between Am(III) and Eu(III) have been evaluated. Mechanism of adsorption of actinides and lanthanides from different aqueous media has been discussed. An ion exchange procedure for the separation of Pu4+ and UO2 ++ has been developed using this resin.
