Cesium separation using crystalline silicotitanate ion exchangers

Stephens, H.P.

A new class of ion-exchange materials that can selectively separate low parts per million level concentrations of Cs{sup +} from 3--6 molar concentrations of Na{sup +} over a wide pH range has recently been developed as a result of a collaborative effort between Sandia National Laboratories and Texas A&M University. The materials, called crystalline silicotitanates, show potential for application in the treatment of aqueous nuclear waste solutions.
