Reverse Osmosis Separation of Radium from Dilute Aqueous Solutions

Abstract
Porous cellulose acetate membranes were characterized in terms of pure water permeability constant, solute transport parameter and mass transfer coefficient with aqueous sodium chloride solution as the reference system. Reverse osmosis separation behavior of radium-226 as nitrate, chloride and sulfate salts was studied. Reverse osmosis method of removing radium-226 from aqueous solutions was compared with other methods, and it is one of the best methods for alleviating radium contamination problems.
