Selective sorption of radioactive cesium and strontium on stannic molybdophosphate ion exchanger

A new inorganic ion exchanger stannic molybdophosphate has been prepared under varying conditions. Ion exchange capacity, I.R., thermogravimetry, and sorption behavior of radionuclides have been studied. Effect of concentration of sodium chloride, boric acid and pH on the sorption of cesium and strontium have also been studied. Decontamination of cesium and strontium from aqueous nuclear waste solution has been achieved.
